The art of the sculptor conjures images of chipping away, at rock or maybe wood or plaster. The term ‘additive sculpture’ however, refers to the building of sculptural pieces by assembling different elements together.

Influenced by my explorations around industrial legacy and global warming, my two sculptures featured here tell their stories in the materials used.

I’m delighted they will be displayed at Glynn Vivian Art Gallery this Spring, in the Swansea Open exhibition 2024.
