I start by sculpting a form or pattern from which I take a silicon rubber mould.  Each mould allows me to cast a series of components in a range of colours and materials.

I tend to cast the parts in batches with only a vague notion of what form and colour the final piece will take. This means I have a range of options from which to choose when making the final piece.

Usually a sculptor makes a unique 'master' from which they cast a series of copies. I reverse this and create a suite of repeating parts that I can combine into a series of 'one off' pieces.

Creating new components is labour intensive, but allows me to make sculptures in quite a spontaneous way. 

The repeating elements, brightly coloured and polished surfaces give the pieces the appearance of consumer products. On closer inspection they are obviously hand crafted with each having individual elements and organic imperfections.
