Sculpture

Sheffield

ABOUT:

The sculptures I make are ritualistic and primeval in nature and serve as allegories for contemporary society. Ancient myths and folklore inform performative preparatory studies, where they are reinterpreted and amalgamated into contemporary mythological figures.

SUPPORT WORKING CLASS CREATIVES (1).png

'Working Class Creatives' responds to a need which is too often overlooked in the arts; that of the barriers facing working-class artists from getting on in our sector. They are instrumental in initiating much-needed change that will see the art world become more inclusive and reflect the society it purports to serve. I often search their database in my research, it is a vital resource for any arts professional working in culture today. That they have got this far on so little financial resource is remarkable and I am excited to see what they will achieve with further support.” Beth Hughes, Curator, Arts Council Collection.
