Feelings have been unfashionable both in art and music for many years, and concept and cerebral notions have been at the forefront in art. Society has become divorced from feeling and caring, possibly through daily bombarding by the media. I think people will start to want something which expresses the feelings of love, sadness anger and pain that we have numbed ourselves from.

I carve with my emotion, love and belonging are profound feelings, which are joyous to express. There is a Welsh word "heireith", which as well as belonging means a yearning for your homeland. Mine is Pembrokeshire in West Wales in the British Isles. It is surrounded by wilderness and beautiful beaches, magical hills full of ancient burial site and stone circles.
