Sculpture by nature.

I have two influences which come together in this little object, nature and tribal art.

Coming from Africa I was exposed to both and when I started traveling I found my self being drawn to third world countries to experience the cultures behind this art.

These cultures were more offten then not based between the tropics which provides for some of the best examples of nature on our planet.

The materials for this object were found in Devon and the Cotswold's.

Living and designing in the Cotswold's.

It has been two years since I left London to relocate in the Cotswold's, I am now serving customers in both regions which is proving a challenge but one I am relishing. 

The contrast of the two environments could not be further apart, but as for inspiration it is a great contrast.  As I switch from one environment to the other I notice things that I have missed before, and see things from a different perspective.

I am also traveling to Poland on a regular basis which also adds to the mix of stimuli which is helping to keep my work fresh and interesting.
