Earlier in life Gene studied engineering pattern making and one can see his interest in the angles and architectural elements of his new work as they involve mixed mediums of corten steel, cement, aluminium and other metals to produce the final sculpture.

Over a number of years Gene has participated successfully in a number of sculpture exhibitions and at Blenheim had works in Pulse exhibition and the inaugural Shapes in Spaces exhibition in 2021.

It is one thing to have the skill to understand materials and what they will do but to have a final concept in mind and see what can result is equally special.
