Growing up as a child through the Sixties, I consumed a steady diet of 1960s Sci-Fi television. Among other things from the age of 5-11, I watched: Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea, Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel, Wild Wild West, Land of the Giants and Star Trek. I’m sure, in some latent way, that contributes to influencing my work.
Ripe with allusions to eroticism and populated with archetypal goddesses, warriors, alien beings, monsters, fantastical plants, robots, laser guns and gadgetry of another Time, another world, perhaps even another species — all soaked up into my subconscious fabric, well saturated to the point of seeping — are now expressed through my object-led process from which my sculptures emerge.
