Each sculpture arises out of a particular time. As time passes new images emerge, previous images fade, the sculpture remains as evidence. Techniques used include assembly, modelling direct, casting and carving, using various materials. Each work is suggested by thought processes, dream patterns, found objects or improvised assemblages. The sculptures evolve without following any set plan, the initial image may change as the piece develops and becomes an exploration of ideas and feelings suggested by and associated with the image. The pieces develop a life of their own, leading in unexpected directions with unforeseen conclusions. The physical form a sculpture takes depends on immediate demands and whatever materials are to hand at the time of making: it could be driftwood, found objects, plastic, metal, wood or stone. There is no set procedure, each work comes into existence in its own way depending on any combination of  prevailing circumstances. Most pieces are painted as an integral element of the overall expressive purpose of the work. All are made for durability and in the case of outdoor sculpture, for weather resistance.
