Wondering about what lies within the seemingly ordinary geodes, led me to think about what lies beyond the unseen. This natural beautiful form created through various chance conditions is juxtaposed against the nestled form of man made material, to represent this idea of questioning what intricate beauty may be hiding at a deeper microscopic level all around us and our power to harness this natural power. Computers today contain various natural elements in their circuitry such as gold and the old radios actually used quartz elements. All of these essential technological creations have building blocks which are constructed using a palette of component materials that span the periodic table. Whereas 50 years ago, our society built most of its material goods out of wood, iron, copper, gold, silver, and a handful of types of plastics, today we require a lot more. A computer chip alone can be made up of more than 60 different elements. Quartz has been crucial to the technological advancement in our modern world. It is this harmonious collaboration of old and new that fascinates the ideas of technology and inventions of the future and what forms they may take. With the advancement of “growing” technology and bio engineering, of which my flowing organic tendrils wrapped around the quarts represent. Objects such as this sculpture may one day hold a deeper purpose than visible on the surface. This piece is signed on the bottom with the artists unique seal https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/e64f54556938136ae47770d339a9bf25_hd.jpg Chuckaloo Dimensions: H 77.5cm x W 57cm weight 5.5 kilos My large Medium: Polycaprolactone created 2013 In my artworks I often attempt to capture the lucid ephemerality, of a moment of transition, growth or movement, allowing it to be endlessly revered by the viewer in its stasis. It is through the use of a smart material, which I have mastered sculpting with over the years, that I am able to intuitively manipulate the medium into my desired surreal, and seemingly fragile forms and encapsulate my ideas. The Underpinning inspiration of this Sculptures concept and design, was that of visually representing a happy childhood memory of eating eggs for breakfasts, with my grandmother saying “eat up all your chuckaloo” In her singing Aberdeen accent. My Signature organic abstract style is predominantly inspired by biomorphic forms in nature. The aesthetically pleasing textures and forms in my art are often the result of visually inspiring microscopic imagery of nature at an intimate level. The subject of envisioning thoughts and memories, combined with the potential aesthetic beauty of the invisible galvanizes the twisting tendrils and mellifluous contours incorporated within the art piece.

The sculpture is hollow like a vessel and the curving section of the sculpture, which occurred during the process of filling the setting this piece with fast flowing water gives the impression of a pregnant belly containing life. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/e1bc79b55ee9f94653eec53aa31a2cd6_hd.jpg Oyster Polyp Size (H x W x D): 22 x 11 x 8 cm £210 medium: polycaprolactone description: "Biomorphic is a term most commonly associated with abstract art to describe a form that is irregular or organic, often derived from shapes found in nature. This biomorphic sculpture was inspired by forms which act as emergence sites, like shells or pods which delicate tendrils emerge from. This sculpture bottom part of this sculpture is separated and allows for the sculpture to be re-positioned when stood upon it in a custom fit incorporated white polycaprolactone form. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/d0997af8f7f3cd881e5c259f92d2a35c_hd.jpg Curious Hatchlings Mediums: Polycaprolactone, Goose eggs, Clockwork Created: 2007 Curious Hatching's are part of my curiosity creatures project. The sculptures consist of real Goose eggs, clock parts and polycaprolactone plastic. The curiosity creatures were inspired by the exotic species and specimens collected within Wunderkammers. The use of clockwork is symbolic of our human nature to be curious about the strange and unfamiliar, and want to understand how it "ticks".

The corticeps spores which blossom from the tip of the mature organic form are so virulent that their host species are at serious risk of death if they happen within its vicinity. The benefits of this parasitic life form however ensure that no one species becomes too over numerate within certain ecosystems.

This sculpture is roughly 9ft tall and comprised mainly from Polymorph, with a copper and mesh armature interior. The Biomorphic Polymorph sculptures are my personal interpretation of the curious natural forms in nature and the human body under close magnification of which I am constantly inspired by. The twisting forms both reminiscent of the beautiful forms in nature and also the deadly. Looking closely at of these structures reveals the grotesque surprise of deadly fungus spores, HIV cells and other highly infectious viral and parasitic like forms. The visual representations of things we would normally give a wide birth and intentionally avoid. This however is contradicted by the curious minded viewer’s who are drawn in by the intentional use of a curious medium and the detailed and intrinsic construction of the sculptures.

The pods contain abstract sculptures of microscopic organisms/viruses/cells in the human body. ranging from the vitally important to the deadly. The idea of identity id broken down in this piece as the forms is inspired by the fact that at a molecular level we are all more or less the same. Also the reaction of the viewer is important, as idea that they may be "beautiful" and "cool" is interesting once they discover the form is based on a deadly virus or harmful bacteria.

I found the various forms of beetles beautiful and their use for adornment through history intriguing. Beetles were set into jewellery for their prized metallic hues and incredible iridescence. Later beetles forms were replicated in gold and silver and set with precious stones. This Beetle was inspired by the Dorcus Hopei species of Beetle. This piece is Painted in shimmering hues of magenta and crimson, complimenting the two faux ruby and garnet gemstones set into the carapace of the beetle sculpture. The sculpture features a small loop on its underside so that it can be hung within the frame or taken out and hung on its own, or even be free standing upon a surface for display. The underside of the beetle sculpture is intricately detailed and has the artists seal and signature stamped into the pieces. The artwork also contains the title of the piece and the artists signature on the back of the mount inside the frame. https://imageproxy.viewbook.com/aa0c51c47d3c50479ee757811d190c30_hd.jpg Midas Neolucanus Lacroix Dimensions: H 25cm x W 25cm x D 4.5cm Medium: Epoxie Clay , Plastic, Liquid Gold Leaf, Topaz, glass and wooden frame Year created: 2014 This piece is part of my "Bejewelled Beasts" collection, inspired by the unusual Victorian curiosity of the natural world and their view of beetles as living gems.

The Cheetah bursting forth from the cup in liquid form is a symbolic metaphor for the coffees origins. Coffee for me personally conjures images of energy, dynamism and speed. I sought to express these concepts by sculpting the captivating fleeting forms produced when liquid coffee is in motion. Capturing a frozen moment in time, to marvel at its organic fluidity. I then chose to amalgamate the fluid grace and speed of coffee in motion, with the form of the Cheetah. I chose the Cheetah not only for it being the fastest land animal on the planet, and synonymous with the notion of speed. But because it is native to Tanzania, The African coffee producing country, of which the coffee art project is this year focusing on supporting.
