I
dread the question, "So
what do you do?"
The full answer always sounds unbelievable as it
reads as a list of loosely associated job titles. In reality, I take on
projects that excite me. Many of these generate money, many do not. The
job titles themselves come from those paying, so over twenty years I have
accumulated a fine collection.
All my work stems from a passion for creativity in all its forms. So to
me the title 'artist' best describes how I engage with the
world. A world of invention and change and limitless possibilities.
As an artist I have found sculpture expresses my visions most successfully,
I think in three dimensions and love making real things, which inevitably
defines me as a sculptor.
However, when the project requires me to find a practical, albeit aesthetic
solution to a problem I become a designer.
If it’s for a client’s
home, I’m an interior designer, for film or TV; I’m a set
designer or an art director. So you see, the job title only
serves to record my role in a history of creative involvement. At one
stage I was the country’s
first and probably only craft animateur.
My style is a blend of the formal and the unconventional. My methodology
is both logical and lateral. My commitment is total and professional,
even obsessive. I am proud of my reputation for getting the job done
and of
having performed the impossible (I pay due homage to my mind boggling
good luck).
I cannot separate what I do from who I am.
