  • The 'REmuse' series of sculptures is created from whole vinyl music records... nothing added and nothing removed from the original material. The abstract expressive,figurative forms are organic in conception as the vinyl has a life of it's own under various heat sources. The final sculptures are often paired with modern, geometric materials such as perspex and acrylic - or with wood - the hard solids contrasting with the solidified, liquid lava appearance of the manipulated vinyl. The figures recline, dance and become caught in a movement that was previously evoked in the playing of the records themselves.
