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
