Myles works with recycled steel, cutting up objects into smaller pieces then organically “growing” them into new sculptural forms. He always aims to portray movement, attempting to catch the moment of action in each piece.

I am fascinated by the creation of three dimensional pieces of art through the re-purposing of scrap metal artefacts, either in whole or part. I like to explore the way that moments can be brought to life in a piece of sculpture by the careful choice of pose and form.
