During the access period in the School of Art, Design & Computer Sciences at York St. John I intend to create a new series of sculptures based on and reminiscent of the human form. These will be conceived using a variety of techniques including the use of mould-making processes, with particular regard to plaster as primary mould-making element. The sculptures will ultimately be conceived using a number of materials, including wood, metal, ceramic as well as plaster, and will be of various sizes and dimensions, up to monumental in scale. The sculptures will bring to mind the iconography of ancient figurative works as well as a contemporary sensibility with images, forms and suggestions of current concern, all brought together and filtered through my own visual language. The various technical workshops and facilities in particular at York St. John provide the practical opportunity to develop the intended pieces successfully, and because the sculptures are to be fabricated in large part using mould-making technology making use of this particular workshop will be invaluable in this process. As some elements will also be conceived in both wood and metal these two areas will also be useful in completing the works. The principal aim and purpose of the access period will be to develop sculptures ready to exhibit through public presentation.
