About Gabriel
ScULPTOR | PHOTOGRAPHER
My work explores space and form using steel rod and found metal to draw in three dimensions. I like to create dynamic linear structures that utilise both negative space and the almost limitless possibilities of the material.
My subject matter is driven by subtle narratives, illustrated by recreating and abstracting everyday objects, organic shapes and the movement found in nature and the human figure.
My photography is heavily influenced by my geographical surroundings in the Forest of Dean as well as my travels further afield. My process involves traditional and more creative photographic methods including in-camera functionality such as multiple and long exposures to manipulate natural light sources.
All works featured are for sale and commissions are welcome. All my sculpture is suitable for both indoors and outdoors and plinths are available upon request.
