Working with locally sourced wood from West Sussex, I make contemporary pieces that celebrate this most versatile material in tactile, sculptural forms. Each turning is unique, and though the basic shape can be repeated, every piece inevitably finds its own outline and character.
Turning has more than a touch of alchemy about it. The most unpromising timber often reveals the richest patterns and colours as the layers are peeled away. While I may start with a shape in mind, the structure, knots and grain all influence the shape of the finished piece.
If you are interested in purchasing from the gallery, or would like to discuss a bespoke piece, just drop me a line.
