ROOM WITH A FEW - NOVEMBER 1996

This exhibition proved to be an excellent combination of three sculptors work. Each artist's work complemented each others, partly I think due to the object based nature of the work but also our different concerns about making sculpture brought together under one roof to create an impressive, interactive and inspiring show. Our different ideas, materials and colours seemed to work to the benefit of each other. There was a lot of work on a human scale, dealing with human issues, more so maybe than we at first expected. For example Duncan Cameron's Self, Peter D'Allesandro's Pillow and more obviously my standing figures. The show also benefited from the different conceptual levels and I especially enjoyed showing with Duncan and Pete because of this. The practicalities of the show were also challenging but provided no great obstacles.

I was very inspired by the opportunity to show in the Leadworks - the rawness of the building, the light and the quietness of it, the space enabled me to do some experimental sketches in sculpture as part of the work, which was a fast free way of creating I had never used before, commercial galleries can often be very stifling for me. I showed seven life-size pieces, twenty one varying sized pieces and nineteen A1 drawings.
