His sculptures, such as Poacher’s Tree and Poacher’s Vane, both shown at Scottish Art in the 20th Century, at RWA, 1991, are full of mysterious signs and symbols, the sculptor favouring forged and welded steel. Had a one-man show at Third Eye Centre, Glasgow, 1985, Scottish Gallery in Edinburgh, 1993, and The Crystal Gallery, Morioka, 1998. Scottish Arts Council and Contemporary Art Society hold his work.
