Had as forerunners Gaudier Gill Epstein. In wood and stone considers natural grain and colour; simplifies surface occasionally incising it. His work is abstracted from organic form from parts of the human figure. Realizes the value of prehistoric and early Celtic carving pebbles stone hammers stone incisions. Must have looked at early palaeolithic stones. Weight and mass; sense of silhouette sense of creating silhouette within the stone by holes through it; expresses surface texture and space."
