for some reason both of my main projects at present are in windswept places ... the loaves and fishes gate is part of an ongoing site where I am making the metalwork for an entire village near the coast in Germany and the tree and wind gates are part of another project on the windy shores of Ireland .... it gives me great scope for movement and even where gate holes are defined by stone walls there are no square edges and lots of room for generouse textures ...

Often in the past I would deliberately form an uneven frame in a rectilinear space in order to play with assymetries ...now the spaces are simply crying out to me .... a case of getting what you wish for ..
