Sculpture

My expert knowledge of materials and processes allows me to identify, source and work with any natural stone, on any scale and in any context.

The piece 'Faith, Hope, Love', a private commission in Frome, Somerset, was created with Portland limestone.

The Stone Grotesques for St.George's chapel at Windsor, part of a huge project to replace the deteriorating Victorian grotesques on the three string courses around the facade of St. George's chapel with new interpretations by contemporary stone sculptors, were created with Syreford limestone.

Faith Hope Love Small

My interest in groteques began a long time ago while carving at the Portland Stone Quarry.  This was a spontaneous free carving of a dragon carrying an egg, It was carved in found Portland limestone that was full of fossilised shell and then left in a pub (to the landlord's delight), somewhere in Portland while visiting.

Heraldry

Heraldry is a way of discovering the lineage and background of a family or institution that has been of continuing importance to a country. I particularly enjoy carving coat of arms due to the intricate and sometimes complex design.

I have created pieces in lime wood, pear wood and English cherry wood, although most types of wood can be used.

This is the coat of arms of Mr. Andrew Scott Esquire, Prime Warden of the Fishmonger's Guild, which is one of the old Livery companies in London. Every year a new warden is chosen and his coat of arms is diplayed in the Fishmonger's Hall on London Bridge.

Lettering

All lettering is uniquely designed by beginning the letter forms in brush and ink.

The forms arrived at through freeform brush lettering are then consolidated into drawn forms for the purpose of either wood or stone carving.

Lettering to me is sculptural and each design has a unique voice to express the purpose of each commission.

Some lettering continues the evolutionary journey of becoming pure sculpture.

Restoration Work

Whether it's designing and carving corbels or working on part of an eighteenth century fireplace surround or even recreating eighteenth century style Italian Rococco pieces, I have the skill and knowledge to restore or recreate historic pieces of any size.

This was a project funded by the National Lottery to restore the Queen Anne's Summer House in the Shuttleworth Old Estate, Old Warden, Bedfordshire.  I designed the corbels and carved one while my colleague carved the other.  They are carved in Quebec yellow pine and painted white.
