Translated in material and fragmented by optical shape, the sculpture in painting appears figurative. 
The down position of the circle vaguely is benign and despondent.


The features; a metallic telling of broken fragments placed in shapesof rhombus, triangle, angled 
rectangles correspond to the shape of the canvas. Remember the copper shreds are placed on
 a sheen of aluminium. This is my interpretation in wonderment of materials we weigh up the value
 of the work, intrinsic and materialistic this hums with the tradition of the crafts over the 
meaning of a lack of narrative, stern in sentiment it is not easily read.



The artist is full of experiment with new media, this is not methodic of a trained
academic hand but someone at ease with the essence of materials and the placement
within the canvas of his work.
