About
However, his abstract work, which is the foundation of everything he does, has not been exhibited since the 1980s.
These collages and constructions in steel, card and wire have been created in the evenings, at weekends and in quiet studio time between major commissions. An artist who thinks by making, the compositions in this exhibition are inspired by engineering, architecture, nature and music. A lifetime of fabricating sculpture and wrestling with aesthetics comes together in these complex but elegant constructions.
