My sculptures are born from fire, wrought in fire: flame, sudden changes in temperature, particular techniques and baths bring out the hidden colours and forms. |
My sculptures are born from fire, wrought in fire: flame, sudden
changes in temperature, particular techniques and baths bring out the
hidden colours and forms. The harsh, rough sheets of copper and brass
are hammered, heated to melting point, burned, suddenly cooled and
wielded into symbols; then the tortured nature of the sculptures is
softened, made tolerable, almost pleasant, by the falling sound and
visual magic of water.
The sound of the falling and rising water is sometimes gentle, sometimes the freshness and living presence of water is part of my artistic work. The violent. At times the water is born of the sculpture, at times it seems to lift and give existence to it. The play of light on the reflected and reflecting surfaces creates a continuously changing sequence of variations and modulations.
