Working in birch plywood, I enjoy reconstructing the reconstructed wood. Plywood is a wood rendered inert by the manufacturing process. By shaping the ply and working into the surface, I give it volume and form.

Long sensual curves, hooks, cavities and three metres high amphorae vessels evoke the organic and the man-made. The sculptures lean against walls and rest on the floor. The work is pared down to a weightless, elegant economy of form, inspired by shapes and forms visible in the landscape and in natural geological patterns.
