From ideation to the final touch my hand connects every stage
Creative flow
In my studio, I'm immersed in creativity and inspiration. Maquettes line the walls, reflecting my journey. The warm light and radio set the perfect ambiance. With tools and materials, I find solace in creating. Time ceases to exist as I bring ideas to life. My studio is a sanctuary for expression.
Bronze casting
With passion, creativity, and resourcefulness, I built my own foundry. I crafted a workshop, equipped with a custom-built furnace, enabling me to realise my sculptures in bronze, bringing them to life. This journey instilled a sense of accomplishment and independence. Through careful planning, research, and investment, my foundry became a reality.
Final touch
Sculpture is a rewarding journey, filled with uncertainty, commitment, and persistence. The final stroke or mark, signifies the materialisation of a creative idea. As an idea becomes real the burden dissipates, replaced by a sense of accomplishment and pride.
