After a career as a craftsperson in woodwork, I recently discovered copper sculpture as a medium to foster my creative pursuits, with designs inspired by my time in the local area. Previously, I have worked in leadlight, but I recently turned to copper as a medium. I love the simple, rustic, ever changing aged colours, earthy, weathered and beaten appearance of copper, juxtaposed with natural materials to express my ideas which predominantly reflect the local environment. All of my pieces are variations on hand shaping and basic joining techniques, while exploring the versatility and malleability of the copper medium.
I have been fortunate to live and work in this area for over 25 years and in that time have grown my appreciation for the region, flora, fauna and ocean beauty, realising the Fleurieu coastline to be among the best in the world.
