Material: Metalwork | Location: East Sussex
'I shape my sculptural forms from flat sheets of copper and brass using hammers and forming stakes.
Working intuitively, I engage my metals unique properties of malleability and strength to express in tangible form the fluid movement of energy.
Emerging over time, these distinct, highly textured and patinated pieces of work, act as a meditation and physical evocation of the motion felt in the continuous rhythm and flow of being.'

Copper and coppersmithing:
'I hope to show the versatility of this unique material, it’s a wonderful medium in which to explore the intangible world through sculptural and functional decorative work.
There is a need to hold on to the ancient skills and methods used to work this beautiful metal, for the sculptor, artist, maker, and enthusiast.' - Adaesi Ukairo
