Greg is a self-taught woodturner. He has constantly sought to push boundaries both in terms of his skill and the possibilities that wood affords. Greg is a QEST Turners Company Scholar. He has exhibited at: the Crafts Council's Collect Open Exhibition; the Royal Academy's Summer Exhibition; the Worshipful Company of Turners Master exhibition and was a finalist at the Wood Awards.

Greg is enjoying being on a journey to explore the beauty of wood, what it tells us and its potential. The wood’s story is in its growth rings, colours, burrs and rot. This is fine art created by nature which is then revealed by a master craftsman.

Greg feels that wood offers huge creative possibilities, and it is sustainable. For these reasons he uses it to articulate issues that are important to him. In that way they become a focus for dialogue and the journey continues.

"The basis of my work is a journey that explores the beauty of wood and the narratives I can create with it. My work is based around the traditional craft of woodturning and turning it into an art form. This is done by using functional forms as the canvas for exploring issues that confront us today. The wood’s story is in its growth rings, colours, burrs and rot. This is fine art created by nature which is then revealed by a master craftsman. The traditional vessels, which are created, are then manipulated using a range of wood working techniques and are combined with a variety of objects to conjure a scene that needs to be understood. The existential issue that the observer is confronted with includes humour, hope, and cryptic references. Whilst the object is created with the narrative driving the form and inclusions, what interests me, as the artist, is how the viewer interprets it. This then means that people with different perspectives can engage in discussion about potentially difficult and provocative topics. By talking about what the vessel represents to the viewers and creator we can explore issues by confronting the object and not each other. In this way the journey continues."
