A MESSAGE FROM ROY:
As an artist my objective is to evoke feeling and emotion through shape and line. 

My material choice of ‘timber’ was a natural one, given that a large part of my early career was spent as a custom design cabinet maker.  Each timber, defined by its unique characteristics, grain and line, literally speaks to me.  The artist in me extends beyond a prescriptive approach, embracing a willingness to uncover what lies within. 

I sometimes spend days or even weeks, contemplating a potential piece ‘in the rough’ before embarking on a journey of co-creation.  My ultimate desire is to enhance the qualities and grain of what nature has already provided, allowing it to claim it’s unique beauty and form.

My current collection has an emphasis on relationships and connectivity.  Artists such as Alberto Giacometti, Barbara Hepworth and Constantine Brancusi inspire many of his works.
