Tools, weapons, and utilitarian objects which are an extension of the human hand, arm and body have continued to interest me more than traditional stand alone figurative sculpture. Now, the absence of the figure has been replaced by the viewer/audience who can complete or activate my sculpture. The ergonomic bend of a centuries old medieval scythe, designed to perfectly interact with the human body, this harmony between the tool and the maker is something which I aspire to achieve. Taking a close look at Franz West's adaptives and Claes Oldenburg's ray guns I have attempted to articulate a body of work relating to systems of war and warrior culture.
