In this instance using mixed media, blown glass and pine log, made me feel at ease using the two combinations, to try to bring out our environmental issues and the distraction of the rain forest... It all makes a lot of sense if we would just have a 'Wake up Call' before it is all too late for all of us.
I have made this piece of sculpture in 2002. I knew what was coming and now what we see in today's political arena is not a pleasant scene to say the least, therefore a lot must change now in order to gain any trust at all.
In piece of sculpture 'In the Name of Humanity' touches the subject of human suffering and straggle. I will elaborate anymore than this as I would like you all to open up your hearts and minds to this sculpture.
This a photograph of a very small section of one of my solid cast sculptures. Aluminium cast with solid lumps of copper, bronze, brass and granite. This was one of the most challenging piece of art I had to make. Technically I have pushed every barrier I could in this sculpture as when you cast this four different materials together at over 1000C heat the cooling process in every one this material is completely different and a slight moisture in any of this material you create a volcano. I love pushing materials to their limits. A 'Big Bang Separation' literally trying to recreate in a small way the creation of our universe on a very tiny minuscule way. We are insignificant in that entire universe, just a spec of dust and yet we have managed to do so much in the last 100 years. My question again from an artist point of view... if we have achieved so much in the last 100 years - what have really achieved in the last 1000 years? I will leave this answers and speculations all over to you!
I decided to publish this new work on my blog before even showing in any gallery. Sharing 'Phoenix' means a great deal to me. All my art will always belong to the people, as I will always create it for the nations of the world to enjoy for many years to come. I will not give any meaning or explanation for this piece of art. I will let the people make there own conclusions. 
These piece of sculpture made from solid Aluminium. What I am trying hard to express in this work, just 'Oracle' of life. There is not much more I will add to this.
This piece of is work is the least enjoyable piece I have ever had to make. As an artist I felt it was my obligation to show the way people 'Respect' one another in the 21st century. I look back at my childhood and the respect I saw throughout my generation and seeing it decline in such bad way. I can only hope that in not too distant future I will see 'Respect' between people come back... In a materialistic world we live in there should not be such barbaric behaviour between people, families, loved ones. It saddens me as a human being to see this kind of behavior amongst people, it saddens me even more as an artist that I have to make such a piece of art, as a results of our own doing.
'Parking Lot' does not need a lot of explaining... Environmental issues is on the minds of every single one of us. We live in the world of consumerism and yet technologically what we achieved in the last 10 years or 100 years is great, but, there is a but here... We want more! Human greed to have more and more of everything. Doesn't matter if we sacrifice our environment or kill off animals, plants trees... Are we this bad and self destructive as the only intelligent being on this planet? When will we ever wake up from this nightmare of self destructiveness? Will we ever recover? Will our beautiful planet ever recover? 
By putting an expression on a lump of metal. I feel that I have done my job as an artist. This is very autobiographical piece of sculpture. There is perforated steel on the outside and reinforced steel bars on the inside of the structure, that was built section by section. This piece of sculpture stands at 1.4 Meters high. 
Just as we look at our lives through a clear glass window... there is always lay Hidden Memories behind the clear glass window. How our mind closes the doors to our memories, mostly hidden memories of pain and suffering that we seem not want to remember. It is our subconscious mind telling our conscious mind that the part of our hidden memories must be locked away in our subconscious memory. We often psycho-analyze ourselves without even knowing what we are doing to ourselves. We are very complex individuals and yet life could be so simple, without bringing pain and suffering upon ourselves. I believe that humanity will always choose a more complicated way of life as there is no excitement to life without pain.
Everything we do and all decisions we make as adults, always we refer and look back what we learned from our childhood, consciously or subconsciously. Our brain is one big library of references, we learn throughout our lives and yet we tend to make decisions in life that open up doors to what next... and next after that and so on... Deep down inside we feel trapped inside of own bodies and destinies, with no way out, just like trapped soul's in that vastness of the universe. As human being I feel our unity is our only salvation to good and prosperous life. I can not say this message enough in my work, as this means so much to me as an artist. Being physically caged is one thing, but being mentally and emotionally caged, is entirely different matter.
In 21st century we are in more trying times than ever. But if every one of us unite and think of only peace to all nations, maybe we stand a chance to finally bring peace to the world. Tolerance and acceptance of one another's cultures and beliefs, would surly get peace started in the right direction. 'I have a Dream' Martin Luther King said and I am reaping this words maybe some how somewhere we find it in our hearts to accept one another and help one another on the right road to peace for the right reasons. My words of wisdom - See no evil, Hear no evil and Speak no evil. Thank you all for all your support where ever you all are in the world. We must all want only Peace in the world.
Wouldn't we all like to learn from the Fountain of Wisdom? Sure we would like to learn from that! For some of us it is too late to learn anything... Life go's by like a flash of lightning and before long we are too old and too grey to realise all the missed opportunities in life. This piece of sculpture says it all, the thick layers of glass and black granite, layers and layers, in an unfinished shape of a pyramid, of discovered and undiscovered ways of life. While the fountain of wisdom has meaning and a great influence and significance in our lives... and we go through life like being blind folded, blind in every sense. Though our eyes let us see, but only what we want to see. As an artist I am trying very hard not to let my own life influence this piece of work, but it is very hard not to, as I am the creator of this piece of Art.
Often people who say 'money is not everything in life' - they have lots of it. Money is the only man made tool that gives everything in life except health and happiness, though even health and happiness sometimes can be rectified by money. Some people say 'money is evil' - money can only be evil, if it is the hands of evil people. Money is the only tool can buy everything and more. There has not yet been proven system that can create a comfortable life for all. Nor Capitalism, Socialism or Communism has given the population of the world a comfort zone that we do not have to kill one another for money. Is there any system has really given the majority people life without poverty or stress? I like to think that maybe one day the leaders of the world will wake up and let all the people all over the world live in peace and harmony with one another. There is enough of everything for everybody. So why kill and destroy one another in the name of money, greed and power to control. 
Unveiling of this sculpture by the Mayor of Kensington in the Bupa Nursing Home garden. This piece of work is very personal to me and the way my life had evolved over the years. Almost 13 years ago I nearly got killed in a very bad road accident. Prior to accident I was a fitness fanatic and the frustration of no longer being able to use my dumbbells any longer I decided that this dumbbells will still have some use in my life, so I made it into a piece of art. I believe, everything happens to us throughout our lives - there is for a reason.
