ON SCULPTURE: “I like to use other people’s rubbish. I like to place the things together and make them look like they are working. I am working on some tables at the moment and playing around with some ideas. The best one to date is to use them to show the the tables go together and over time how they end up as rubbish. My work is very much about telling a story of life. Last year I was working with a tribute to a work friend and lodger who took his own life. This was very well recieved by the locals of Winchester where John Wison lived even on the last day of the show there were people wanted to come into the show and pay their respects. A lot of children liked what I had done. One person looked at the sculpture for over 2 hours. I am hoping to do it again this year as well as my degree show. I like to have lots of things on the go at one time, it just the way I work.”

ON ILLUSTRATION: “My drawing have always been part of my practice. My drawings are the way I record information I draw over 200 drawing in 4 hours, I do not use a rubber, I like to do my drawing on the move, walking on a train, I like the movement inmy work, I am starting to put my images on to cloths and craving into the soles of shoes.”
