The selected sculptural objects and installations you are viewing extend chalk-line drawing into dimensional space and are concerned with static and dynamic principles, gravity, elevation, and weight, with an essential economy of construction and precision in their making. Hanging chalk-lines posit optical drones, suspending pure pigment vertically in the air, from the upper reaches of architectural space, depositing a spectrum of residual dust at the lower limits of floors. Suspended chalk-line installations resemble ancient clusters of bells, witnessed years ago, in a remote, Himalayan temple, during the 1970s.
The sculpture brings to bear a knowledge of the tensile properties of various materials and a continual investigation and inversion of their usage.
All of this is informed by a life-long immersion in the disciplines of music, poetics, cinema and architecture, through extended travel, and by proximity to the sea.
Sculpture: Selected Images
“The quality of language is more important than any system of ethics or aesthetics… Form is the concretion of content, the revelation of a world.
Samuel Beckett
