“I deepened my method of making steel wall sculptures from simple outline drawings to mountains and valleys. I had discovered a love for mountain hiking and studied Ordnance Survey maps. I constructed these sculptures based on a forty-five-degree angle to the wall, cutting wherever the steel flowed together to create a topography of imagined alps. In this way I was building landscapes, one contour line at a time. It was a very laborious process, but the folded-paper-like results pleased me.”
“I built up my flowers and mountains out of strips of steel welded upwards from a flat plane, like the contour lines of an ordnance survey map. It is very laborious, but I like the folded paper-like results. The mountain series is still open. There are always more mountains to be climbed and made.”
