About

Welcome.

Have a look around. Take your time...




I hope you'll find something to interest you.


Do get in touch, via the contact page or instagram.


Perhaps you'd like to own a piece, or work with me on a future project?

Or perhaps you found a little solace amongst these pages? I'd love to hear.


I'm open to ideas


I'd like to find a way to reach far and be of service.


My work tends to concern modern masculinity.  We are living in the midst of a burgeoning mental health crisis. Drawing from my own experience I hope to offer empathy and encouragement.

Strength is an important word.

I explore varied aspects of Mental and physical strength through figurative sculpture.


Art has always been a refuge. As a child I filled sketch books with imagined hereos, courageous and powerful. The idea of the hero is still prominent in my work though with maturity, I  often subvert the concept to explore the rich and curious layers of the human psyche. 


I am fascinated by mamalian anatomy. Particularly the way evolution has pulled and pushed the same basic bones to achieve a range of extraordinary specificities. I'll often borrow from the animal kingdom to  emphasise a human trait.


I like a piece to have a sense of narrative. Some of my pieces are best understood as frames from a movie story-board merged into a singular object. 


There's more but thats all for now.


All the best and take care,

Ben
