My work explores interactions between sculptural form and light, often with a psychological dimension. Forms are precisely constructed, or cast, using everyday materials including wood, plaster, cardboard. These are combined with resin, felt, aluminium foil, photo-luminous paint – materials selected for optical properties of reflection or absorption in order to activate dialogues between light and shadow. Sometimes installations reference natural phenomena such as twilight and the turning seasons, focusing attention on those normally imperceptible transitions. Forms are often derived from precise geometries such as the tilt of Earth’s axis or angles of latitude - these alignments are intended to function both as visual metaphor and also locate the work in place/time. The work presents a continuing exploration of the concepts and reductive idioms of minimalism and geometric abstraction. Echoes too of the Scottish Highlands where I grew up, the abundance of Neolithic stone alignments now reconsidered for a contemporary urban context. Meditation, in particular Zen Buddhism, has been integral to my artwork, both practices interwoven by themes of unity, emptiness, and direct experience of the here and now. Recently I have produced a series of cast wall objects using jesmonite resin. These more formalist explorations of curves, planes and colour are presented as reductive geometries and contemplative reliefs located somewhere between painting and sculpture.
