                   Vestige: a visible trace, evidence or sign of something that once existed.

Essentially a sculptor using glass and bronze as my mediums after initially researching a project I work using clay and wax and from this modelling produce casts.  The techniques I employ are specifically chosen to highlight the fragmented nature of incomplete memory.  The source for much of my work has disseminated from ageing photographs and museum garments and I strive to capture the fragile nature of these in my work.  The figures are likewise incomplete, the surfaces distressed and uneven suggesting an incomplete picture.  Here the viewer is invited to fill in the gaps and make complete a picture in their own mind.
