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.
