From his semi-abstract bird forms to his graceful figurative sculptures to his fluid kinetic sculptures , his works encapsulate beauty , uplifting the spirit and enhancing their surroundings . With their smooth lines and elegant pared back forms , his pieces allow space for interpretation , capturing the imagination , with a subconscious pull to the viewer ’ s emotions .
You can see his towering bronze bird Isis in London ’ s Hyde Park , his ethereal Leaf Spirit in Kew Gardens , and his dynamic Firebird at Woburn Abbey – or view his collected monumental sculptures at Sculpture by the Lakes in Dorset .
