My initial investigations into folding began with paper, as an aid to realising form. This modeling soon began to centre on single sheets of material undergoing gradual change until new, more sophisticated forms are created - a process I have come to regard as growth. The transformation of a single sheet into an object of volume both challenges and inspires me as I marry new discoveries with old, creating individual or related forms, each with a sense of their own internal logic.
Folding takes place after appropriate lines are mapped out and scored, surfaces evolve and edges meet to create internal voids.
Throughout this work I have been concerned with issues of frailty and transience, an opposition to our general expectation of things mathematical, where we anticipate control, predictability, security and hope.
