​

Oliver’s practice is anchored to his need to feel deeply; a pursuit of selfhood and purpose. The process of making forces him to live in the present, in a world where our attention is too easily stolen. 

 

His workshop is a place of solitude, working in complete silence creates a space for reflection and the power of bringing something to fruition from raw natural materials; believing there is great satisfaction to be found in work that engages one so deeply your able to forget yourself.

 

Having never been interested in what he can do, only what he cannot, each piece further builds upon lessons learnt, and failures encountered; the works themselves becoming tokens of time spent challenging the confines of the spirit. 

 

His practice embodies the notion that we find out who we are, by the work we produce, and experiences we seek. More than anything else it makes his life richer in meaning and fulfilment than anything otherwise, the experience being among the few slender threads that binds his life together.
