What are the major challenges faced?

What attracted you to art installations?

My studio produces contextually responsive outdoor artworks that are relevant to the visual language, use and history of the place in which they stand. I enjoy how every new location inspires and deserves a unique creative response, which constantly generates new challenges, collaborations and sculptural outcomes.

Time and money are the enemies of ambition.

How would you describe your work?

We take extremely complex paths to reach theatrical, playful and accessible outcomes. I combine the disciplines of art, architecture and engineering to produce monumental sculptures that integrate into their context, delivering surreal, but hopefully spectacular experiences that any onlooker can understand and hopefully enjoy.

What currently inspires your work?

I have just moved my family and studio to a farm in Kent, so my daydreams are increasingly rural and I’m designing sculptures that manipulate the landscape. We are currently developing a large project for Mumbai and time spent within India is generating ideas for new work also.

What was your last project, and what did you like the most about it?

We recently completed a sculpture in Hammersmith called ‘Six pins and half a dozen needles’. Here we seemingly cracked the facade of a building in half by introducing 5,000 bespoke bricks and over 1,000 stainless steel components. For many years the site was used by publishers, and I like how the idea and pattern for this 10 tonne, 20 metre artwork was simply created by tearing A4 sheets of paper in half.
