New works in progress

This term is becoming very hectic and time is starting to run out, I'm currently working on sculptural based pieces using cement and bronze. I began exploring the West's murder case, looking closely at Rose West and the sexual abuse that victims suffered at her fate. Over the past few months thorough research has developed using books, newspaper articles and the ITV drama 'Appropriate Adult.' I've become fascinated with this case due to the psychological and mental tendencies that accumulated over a long period of time among Fred and Rose West. The case is a strong focal point within my practice at the moment and will be for some time.
