I trained as a
microbiologist but drastically changed the direction of my
career in 1989 when I decided to commit
myself to metalwork sculpture.
After graduating, I experimented with various arts, before
becoming fired by iron in 1986 and setting up my first
workshop.
I did not have a clue about metal-work, and decided that the
best way to learn about the medium was to work in engineering,
starting at the very bottom and working my way up to become a
skilled industrial metal worker.
I now have a large studio
forge near Wisbech. I enjoy the feeling of doing battle with
the metal, using both ancient methods and the latest
technology, and the robust nature of the material. |
