Born
in
Sheffield, England. Resident in Chamonix, France, since 1983.
My life style has evolved from that of a climber to one of
artist/climber. These two apparently dissimilar activities allow me to
explore the mountain ranges of the world, looking for first ascents,
adventure and images.
These wild and fabulous landscapes, exotic and strange people inspire
me to work in sometimes awkward situations and under difficult
conditions.

Having
witnessed the
ingenuity of people less fortunate and their ability to reuse items
which we would cast aside, has reinforced my philosophy towards the use
of found objects in my sculpting.
Climbing and life are, I believe, not about conquering or dominating
but adaptation.
