FOR OVER 35 YEARS MY ARTWORK HAS EXPLORED THE SUBTLETIES OF RITUAL AND IMAGINATION. IRISH PREHISTORIC ART, BRONZE-AGE ARTEFACTS, EARLY MONASTIC METALWORK, 20TH CENTURY DESIGN AND ARCHITECTURE ARE MY CREATIVE INFLUENCES. EQUIPPED WITH THIS VISUAL VOCABULARY I CREATE ARTEFACTS THAT OFTEN COMBINE THE TEXTURED SURFACES AND FLOWING LINES OF OUR PAST WITH THE STRONG AND AUSTERE FORMS OF MODERN ARCHITECTURE. THE ULTIMATE GOAL IS TO CREATE A WORK OF ART THAT IS TIMELESS, THOUGHT PROVOKING AND RESPONSIVE TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT.
