Ben Chinn is a Herefordshire based Artist & Sculptor, creating under the name of Spoken With Sculpture. Combining several carefully tailored techniques, the natural material willow is his medium of choice for weaving an imaginative array of figurative sculptures. When sculpting, each willow rod is mindfully selected and woven into place to collaboratively achieve a truly unique piece.

A recurrent theme among Ben’s sculptures is a particular emphasis being placed on gesture and movement, with him striving to push their boundaries. “The anatomical beauty of humans really fascinates me. This along with my love of capturing emotion through movement, often sets the scene with the majority of my sculptures, allowing me to capture highly charged moments in time whilst clearly projecting reflective and empowering concepts.”

Nature, Philosophy & Psychology all play influential roles in motivating and inspiring Ben during his creative process. "My practice currently focuses on pivotal life experiences, touching upon aspects relating to mental health, wellbeing and self-actualization."

“Every one of us has a story to share and I wish for the spirit of mine to be Spoken With Sculpture”
