Andre’s first work to be exhibited in public, “Cedar Piece” consists of equal lengths of lumber, into which he cut simple woodworker’s joints so that sculpture could be slotted together – and unslotted again for portability.

I am a freelance writer and poet and started writing after raising my two boys as a way of discovering just who Jez is. That is still very much an ongoing project but the journey so far has introduced me to many wonderful friends and fellow writers through an ever-growing love of poetry.
