Quote

My concept is to capture a moment of heightened emotion and thought depicted through contrapposto and an active use of space.

The sculptures I create must convey a boldness and dynamic physical presence combined with a sense of movement and elegance. My passion for studying human and animal anatomy has allowed me to portray an emotional almost electrifying event through the muscular tensions within a body or a piercing glare in response to surprise.

When proportioning my work at the design stage I consistently use Phidias’, Golden Ratio 1:1.618 and the Fibonacci sequence, two discoveries from the ancient world and early renaissance respectively found to be prevalent in nature. If natural history has provided the sculptor with species to depict where within them mathematics exists as an integral part of their form then I believe it’s for the sculptor to identify and understand this and calculate it in his work. Only with this approach will the sculptor achieve an accurate depiction.
