Sculpture inspired by leaves and trees 

I work with mild steel and stainless steel fabric to create sculptures, based upon plants.

Taking my inspiration from nature and landscape graphics, referencing stitching and textile techniques in the work, I believe that I am creating new and innovative approaches to the area of forging.

The majority of my metal plant forms are designed to be suitable for both interior and exterior spaces. My sculptural plant supports for herbaceous and climbing plants in the summer also add interest and stimulus to the garden in winter when the plants die back. Designed to be both decorative, and/or functional. Individually, the decorative nature of the designs will create a focal point within a space. When used in multiples they could create a sculptural divide within an area, be used to mark a boundary or provide a framework to retain or support plants within a planting scheme.

I collect fallen leaves in the autumn and use these as guides for the leaf shapes and sizes. I cut the shapes out of stainless steel woven wirecloth, hand roll the edges and then add colour and pattern with heat.

My prices vary depending upon the design, complexity and time involved. I can adapt my work, for example changing scale and form. Please contact me to discuss ideas or if you have a budget in mind.
