As we get older, our world gets smaller and we start to doubt and question. We are really suspicious of difference.

The way we look at nineteenth-century English social realism and appreciate the working classes of the emerging industrial revolution.

I think people perceive my creatures as absurd because they look different, but at the same time, they are a little bit familiar. I want people to feel a kind of empathy with them. When you think about it, all nature is kind of strange looking.. in fact, I'm a strange a looking creature.

Now that other people have my works, it's really important to me that what they have has longevity.

Most of the work I make uses materials that are a bit outside of the traditional fine art world.

I would say my work is anti-ironic.

I have had sculptures cast in bronze, silver and aluminium. My drawings are all graphite or pigment ink and gouache on paper.
