spirit and work remains radically ahead
of the curve. Concerned with the future
and our capacity to imagine it, his vast
output is full of vibrant and playful
pieces with a social character, made

intuitive. They are bold, colourful and
sculptural – a splendid combination
of craftsmanship and imagination.
