Statement

I rarely have a fixed design when making a speculative piece of furniture. The idea or feel of the piece is usually strong in my mind but it is the process of making and developing the piece which is what determines the works' final appearance. So there is an element of uncertainty in my approach which I like. Working this way allows me to control the tactile quality and proportion of a piece. Line and simplicity of form are what I want to achieve in my work.When I undertake commissions I will always try to produce an innovative piece of furniture as well as fulfilling the brief.
