What I love about working with wire is its immediacy, it's like making three-dimensional drawings and there is, as with drawing, a direct connection between eye, brain and hands so that I always feel closely connected to the making process.
Before I start a new piece I have an idea about how I'd like it to look when complete. The process of turning that idea into reality involves many considered decisions but there's always room for accident and intuition. Once I've sketched in the overall proportions and framework using the first few strands, I'm free to experiment using the weave and tension of the wire. The wire is the line which leads the eye on a journey around the subject, describing anatomic form, implying mass and bone structure and lending a sense of visual rhythm through inter-woven curves and circles which help to convey energy and dynamic movement.
