Living and working in the south west of WA amongst the Jarrah forest and utilising some of its precious resources has led to a deeper identification and nurtured a greater respect for nature. The seductive magnetism of (only) using raw native timbers that were available within the parameters of self imposed moral criteria, and drawing on skills acquired as a recognised solid wood furniture craftsman, has led to a greater commitment in recent years to sculpture.

Sculpture is seen in part as an extension of certain paintings or drawings where there has been a further exploration and expression of ideas. A "hands on" approach to materials, both wood and metals, has been adopted where the challenge of the physicality of the process and working on a reasonably demanding scale can help express a belief in "Truth To Materials and Tools".
