Sculpture and Ceramics
"For me, sculpture is a medium for exploration and investigation. With conceptual sculpture, the medium is irrelevant – it is the idea being investigated that is important. Figurative work is often seen as merely representational."
Representation is an element, of course, but what I am most focused on is the emotional aspect. Whilst making a piece I am consciously trying to explore and understand the emotions I have in response to it. I’m hoping to create a similar dialogue and emotional response from the viewer. This is my concept.
The part of the process I most enjoy is what happens once you’ve mastered the physicality of the clay and the likeness of the model. This is when it really gets interesting.
