About this artwork
Vitruvian takes obvious inspiration from Leonardo Da Vinci’s Vitruvian Man drawing of the 15th century, made famous through constant reproduction and adaptation. The renowned drawing attempts to define man in architectural terms, inspired by writings of Roman architect and engineer, Vitruvius, and his theories of universal proportion in the pursuit of balance and harmony. It reduces man down to that which I avoid: a technical exercise examining ratio,…
scale and averages, disregarding individualism and variety. The drawing acts as an answer to a question, somewhat squaring the circle, to define humankind, but as an answer, little do these technical sketches speak to any sort of inner balance and harmony, let alone societal, or institutional. A careful consideration of which may in fact be more enlightening as to the human condition, a new square for a new circle, telling of what is to be and how it is to exist as a human in the modern world. The sculpture can also be cast in bronze.

Fascinated by the power of figurative sculpture, the classic medium to express greatness, I create works ranging from busts of the less-represented, to political kinetic sculptures questioning the preponderance of white, male figurative memorials. One such, The Ectoplasm of Self-Delusion (steel, resin, vaseline, motor), won the RomArt Sculpture Prize (2017) in Rome.
In 2018 I produced The Children of Calais (resin), a life-sized sculpture of modern children in poses echoing Rodin’s The Burghers of Calais, recognising the plight of child refugees. Shortlisted for Passion for Freedom, this led to a commission for the UK's new Kinder-transport memorial.
I'm also fascinated by non-figurative forms of memorial: Memorial (plywood, oil, pump) won the Sustainability Art Prize, and The Holy See Gets It (prayer book paper, ink, human voice) concerning clerical sexual abuse of children, won the Arte Laguna Prize (2016) in Venice.
