A different work in progress…. For the last few years I’ve only worked on one project at a time but now that I’m working on these conceptual sculptural forms I’ve discovered the joy of having more than one piece in progress at the same time. If I hit a conceptual or creative block on one sculpture I can simply move on to another and give myself the necessary distance to see the work a fresh…. It’s like cleansing the creative palette. I hope you’re having a good day friends. #sculpture #abstracta

A short video of my most recent piece called ‘Cradle’. As with any artwork, especially an abstract, the meaning of the piece is entirely down to individual interpretation and I wouldn’t wish to sway anyone’s perception; but for anyone who is interested I decided I would share a little background on my concept for the work and the thought process behind it……..

Slow progress is at least still progress... right??? This Poppy spoon is in it’s awkward teenage phase now. I can visualise how I want it to be, though between that point and this lie thousands and thousands more cuts with each one impacting upon the next, each slice reducing the options for the one that follows until the piece reaches maturity… hopefully a delicate form with elegantly intertwined stems evolving from the spoons bowl. But then again, failure is always an option! . . #poppies . .

Carving the details is the part of the process where all that I’ve learned about the character and behaviour of this little piece of wood comes in to play. Some pieces of wood will only allow a small amount of detailing whereas others seem to have an infinite capacity for it. This oak is generally good though it does have a few soft spots that require more gentle attention to create the details without chipping vital elements away. #creativeprocess #creativepractice #woodcarving #woodcraft #asmr
