Sculptor and academic based in Norwich, UK. He received his BA (Hons) in Fine Art (First Class) and an MFA in Sculpture from The Slade School of Art, graduating in 1999. Currently, he is pursuing a PhD in Sculpture at the Royal College of Art, with a research project titled ‘Sculpting in Time: Materiality as Continuum’.

His current sculptural practice engages with the possibilities of clay as a primary material for modeling large-scale forms, which are subsequently cast in paper or fiberglass. The work is deeply preoccupied with hand-formed sculptural processes that resist immediate association with the quotidian.

Alongside his artistic practice, [Artist Name] has built a distinguished career in higher education. Since 2016, he has served as a Senior Lecturer in Fine Art and Subject Leader for the MA Fine Art program at Norwich University of the Arts. Previously, he held positions as a lecturer at York St. John University and as Programme Leader for BA (Hons) Fine Art at Hull School of Art. His foundational approach to both art and education is rooted in fostering critical thinking, encouraging experimentation, and challenging orthodox attitudes.
