My latest commission opened on Friday 11th May. The Hemel food garden is a community minded charitable organisation which ties ecological concerns, community and people with learning and special needs together to create one lovely place to visit, buy food from and spend time at.

The people project.
A bit about my work:
My work is concerned with how people affect one another. I look at this from an individual perspective and how these individuals create patterned behaviour that is measured within society.
This is expressed though simple abstracted people form, which I work on as individuals. Once a ‘family’ of individuals has been made, I start looking at patterns, which occur naturally with in the shapes, and structures that can be pulled in to a coherent sculptural assemblage.
Within my work I have found that these forms affect each other once placed in relation to each other, which forms a visual parallel between the theory and the work its self.
I have a keen interest in public art and the issues, which surround it. Though my studies of the publics relationship with public art, I have noted key issues which effect the success of a work in this highly diverse and varied situation. The ability of the public to understand, engage with and relate to art in this situation has an underlying influence on the success of a work. I feel that public engagement though workshops and consultation are key to playing a major part is assisting in the success of public commissioning.
