As a child I used my imagination for entertainment. I drew, painted and made things, nothing made me quite so happy. The natural world is of constant inspiration for me. In it I see a resource which seems endless. Scrap metal appeals to me particularly because of its abundance, low price and versatility. I love the idea of deconstructing obsolete objects which were once brand new, desirable, shiny products and reconfiguring them to have new meaning and purpose. I use almost exclusively waste material – occasionally I have to buy metal, but I try to make this second hand. Quite often I use metal that I have simply found lying around on the beach or in the woods, there is quite a lot of ‘fly-tipping’ here.
