I have been increasingly exploring a rougher textured feel with my sculpture and there are several reasons for this. I feel the bronze really lends itself to very rough and tortured textures which then takes on a life of it's own. For me the texture often becomes more interesting than the subject as it keeps the imagination engaged. Our brains get bored looking at a realistic depiction but become fascinated by the way in which the clay has been gouged, smeared, chopped, pressed and kneaded before being faithfully reproduced in bronze. Also we are not accustomed to, in this case, an animal being depicted so loosely yet still capturing the proportions, spirit and essence of the animal. This style can be very challenging as one has to constantly fight ones natural tendency to create what your eyes see rather than your interpretation. This is a large male leopard patrolling his territory for all to see.

South Africa
Hi, I was born in Johannesburg in 1966 and grew up here. I moved to Durban at the age of 15 and and worked part time at the Dolphinarium and the Snake Park. After school I spent the next 20 years working in the wildlife industry on various game reserves and also did a couple of stints filming lions and hyenas in the Okavango Swamps and the Namib Desert. I have always dabbled in creative endeavours whether its drawing or photography but really only started sculpting in bronze in 2000. It's something that lay dormant since the age of 7 when I saw a bronze Native American which ignited the flame. I am totally self taught and have never received any formal tuition. This perhaps made my initial forays into sculpting a little clumsy but the more I sculpt, the more I evolve my techniques and ideas. My progression is very organic. My favorite subjects are the human form, African wildlife because I have spent so much time working with animals and Native American themed subjects as I have, since my earliest memories, had an acute affinity to them and their culture. Of late my creativity has exploded and I have pushed myself further and further, exploring a much looser and more organic style as I feel this adds far more character to the sculpture and engages the imagination much more deeply. It also represents my own spiritual transformation which is ever more expansive.
