Leaf Fade

Biography

I am a self taught land artist and sculptor from Lancaster in the North West of England. My work usually consists of ephemeral sculptures made from natural materials found round and about where the sculpture is made. What comes from nature soon returns to it be it in a few short minutes, hours or days: everything is reclaimed by the sun, tide or wind. My work focuses on the structures, processes and forms of nature and my sculptures attempt to reveal a fresh perspective on what we know about those materials and processes. A particular tree during a particular autumn flush of colour may afford the land artist the opportunity to reveal all the colours of autumn. This chance may come only for a few days and during a particularly good season. I am of course heavily influenced by Andy Goldsworthy and I have extensively studied his sculptures including trying to create my own versions in an attempt to discover the process he went through. I am currently artist in residence at Beacon Fell Country Park in Lancashire.
