I specialise in repoussé metalwork.
It involves punching, sculpting and chasing a blank sheet of metal into a
recognisable form in relief.
It is a skilled technique that dates from Mycenaean times. The metal is worked inside out and in reverse.
The art of repoussé is a struggle against metal, pushing it to the limits of its malleability. One slip and the metal will split.
These days, it is an endangered craft with few practitioners.
I hope my work will help to revive it.
