Statement

Over the years I have made sculpture in numerous media. To reflect the ‘avant guarde’ founding principles of the 56 Group, I have chosen to show on the website work that re-contextualises money. A number of these are the product of my recent direct involvement with the casting process – such objects need ‘a hands on’ approach during the mould-making and pouring sequences and would be very difficult to manage within a professional foundry. Others rely on the ability to weld the now debased (all coins now below 20p are steel based) currency.
