About My work
I sculpt animals to explore presence
I work with animal forms to explore presence, attitude, and containment. My sculptures are not driven by narrative or naturalistic depiction, but by the search for essence — what remains when movement, detail, and description fall away.
Through simplified geometry, strong lines, and architectural form, I focus on moments where energy is held rather than released. Stillness, in my practice, is never passive; it is charged, deliberate, and resolved.
Across animals,,horses and riders, my work examines how form can hold awareness, and strength,. These sculptures are not illustrations of nature, but grounded, alert, and complete within themselves.
In The Horse and Rider, the enquiry moves toward a shared presence — human and animal aligned in balance and trust, facing the same horizon. This exploration of their relationship continues in the project and remains open to further development.
While The Horse and Rider centres on relational balance and Essence of the Wild isolates the animal form, the two projects exist in dialogue. They are parallel explorations rather than sequential phases. Developments in one body of work continually feed the other — in shape, presence, and the refinement of abstraction.
Each projects are a reciprocal evolution. they aren’t stepping stones; they’re conversations..
