The foundations of my practice have been shaped by my interest in Neolithic sites; this led me to question the power of an art object, specifically sculpture, and how it has the ability to evoke reverence. In art academia reverence is viewed negatively, this is partly due to its links to religion and its spiritual overtones. My sculptures explore and produce a reverential affect as I wish to dispel the negative perception of spirituality in art. By doing this I want to enhance the viewer’s experience, creating work that goes beyond the readily visible to prompt an appreciation of more than the aesthetic.
