I find those high tech robots you see on TV etc amazing but completely lifeless...like walking/talking dead people....I try and animate my sculptures in such a way that they live....so even if they only have one simple movement I try and get it so it says everything.

My art is directly affected by the advance in technology.....for example, as cars become more and more complex and like personal computers...the raw materials available to me from the scrapyard become more hi-tech....and hence so do my sculptures. I am currently building some interactive 'robots' incorporating sensors found in newly scrapped cars.This time...these new sculptures will be built so they can be put in the street..... the idea is that, with the sensors, they can react to passers-by...
