All
works are unique, cast aluminium using the lost polystyrene
process, with in some cases, additions of oak.
Starting with a block of polystyrene and no preliminary
drawings whatsoever, the desired shape is cut with hot wire
and then buried in a special moulding sand.
Molten aluminium is added, vaporising the polystyrene
on contact. Within
20 minutes, the cast form has solidified and is cool enough to
remove from the sand. Multi-segmented
pieces are welded together for finishing, a process which
involves grinding with several grades of abrasive, wire
brushing and the creation of a patina. All of these processes are undertaken by the artist himself
at his studio in East Anglia, where he lives with his wife and
son.
