Alex is fascinated by kinetic sculpture that can be touched and played with, in which movement and interaction drive engagement and participation.
Alex loves to build giant kinetic sculpture, focal points for contemplative wonder, or mesmerising, energetic and euphoric centrepieces.
Drawing upon his sculptural aesthetic, Alex designs and makes gates, lighting and all manner of artisanal and architectural metalwork.
