Artist Statement:

Lettering has only recently become a significant feature of my work as a stonemason and sculptor. Within the last two and a half years I have enjoyed slowly developing my skills in letter cutting and calligraphy, having taken a Lettering Arts Trust course with Eric Marland and Tom Perkins in 2019. I am thrilled that letters are like objects: they each have an identity which is at once familiar to us, but they have the character of infinite variability. I am drawn to the work of the Boudens family, the classical lettering of Guilliano Bocchi and the flourished, experimental work of Nick Benson in the United States.
