The ideas behind Will's sculptural work are often influenced by organic forms, material and the environment. He is interested in the geometric structures, patterns, symmetry and proportion found both in nature and the unfolding of numbers in space. Other pieces have an historical element to them, either on a personal level or as part of the commissioning process with the client.
Will works predominantly in stone and wood because they are durable, lovely to carve and have their own innate beauty. He also teaches stone carving and letter cutting courses on a private basis, in schools, prisons and through local adult education colleges.
Will is a Friend of the Edward Johnston Foundation and a member of the Landcape and Art Network. He exhibits regularly at the Garden Gallery, near Stockbridge in Hampshire and the Montcrieff - Bray Gallery, Petworth, West Sussex.
