Kevin’s intuitive approach means he is constantly experimenting with processes and materials, exploring possibilities within form and achieving a meticulously executed end-result.
Recent work includes Dripscape series of wall-based sculptures, each consisting of hundreds of balls, hand-dipped in paint and then formed into a Fibonacci-inspired spiral relief, resembling a fluid action.
Constellation is an evolving series of experimental kinetic sculptures exploring the phenomena of clusters hovering in space. Latest works explode with colour, referencing the moment a cluster of stars collide - a split second moment in time.

Dripscape is a series of wall-based sculptures that each consists of nearly 800 horizontally projecting spheres. Every individual sphere on Cosmic Whirl has been hand-dipped in metallic paint, hung and left to drip-dry, then collectively formed into a relief.
Cosmic Whirl displays a spiral pattern across its surface, creating uniform flow and movement. This references growth structure found in nature, which had been explored by the mathematician Fibonacci.

Nova No.1 and Matter Meeting investigate the colour and texture within that deconstructive moment and map out the directional force of the explosion.

Dripscape is a series of wall-based sculptures that each consist of nearly 800 horizontally projecting spheres. Every individual sphere has been hand dipped in paint, hung and left to drip-dry, then collectively formed into a relief.
'Ebb' Dripscape resembles the vortex of a whirlpool. The trace of spirals across the surface of the sculpture aids its uniform flow and movement and references growth structures found in nature which had been explored by the mathematician Fibonacci.

Constellation series is an evolving series of experimental sculptures that sets out to explore the natural phenomena of clusters hovering in space. This new sculpture in the series incorporates explosive colour referencing the moment that a cluster of stars or matter collide, a split second event captured in time.
The resulting 3-dimensional work is built intuitively from individual starbursts that randomly interconnect, creating an intensively layered structural mass. It is naturally kinetic as passing air flows through the negative space within its hovering form and light projects a moving chaotic shadow on surrounding surfaces.

The concept of Cloudscape has its roots in traditional landscape painting, primarily influenced by the atmospheric conditions portrayed by Turner and his use of perspective. Stripping down these references to basic elements and fusing materials that indirectly shape the atmosphere today, Cloudscape acts as a contemporary window onto the infinite possibilities of cloud formations.

Chopstick Cluster is a self-supporting sculpture consisting of 6000 bamboo chopsticks. It has been intuitively constructed by flat discs - each fabricated from 16 chopsticks - that interlock through one another until they bond and create a state of organised chaos. Contrary to its scale, it appears light and delicate relying jointly on negative space to create form.

Capitalising on this suppressed creativity the clips are transformed into compressed individual acts of beauty, able to hold their own in an argument for time wasting. This project is ongoing - with 150 produced so far - until all sculptural possibilities have been exhausted from this limited length of rounded steel. The clip sculptures will be exhibited on individual micro-tables en masse to create an installation around the scale of a full-size table.

Untitled (Spheres) is an experimental installation that sets out to challenge our perception of familiar domestic DIY components. Each component has little intrinsic value apart from the particular function for which it was made. When amalgamated with other products of a similar quality then fused into lightweight spherical structures emanating from a core, the materials transcend their stereotype and reference ephemeral natural structures found in the wild. These fragile translucent spheres are perched on top of fine quivering rods rising upwards at varying heights from the ground, reminiscent of dandelions or alliums found in random formations.

Astrolix is a group of five spatial forms that float off the surface of a wall. Each one investigates future forms - things you might encounter out there in space - forms we don’t know about yet. Embodying fluid dynamics they explore our perceptions of solids and liquids, morphing together the industrial surfaces and materials of science fiction and rocket science with the iridescent colours and organic forms of asteroids and meteorites.
The nature of space also marries with the nature of earth. Astrolix reminds you of earthly structures – like the barrel-roll movement of a wave, the energetic cut of a bullet or the curvaceous twist of a shell. Fundamentally, Astrolix is a sculptural investigation – a celebration of our being on this planet and our inquisitive persistence in determining what else is out there – what forms are out there?

Nowhere Land is a kinetic landscape of form; this distorted disc shape contains individual micro-forms en masse - each one subtly pinned so that it appears to hover over the disc’s curved surface. As if in communication with themselves the micro-forms shimmer, helped by any close encounter.
