Simon's work involves the construction of finely-crafted elements, combined in organic systems that draw on a variety of sources. They are predominately conceived through the exploration of landscape, and suggest an association with tools and workshop environments. These abstract sculptures use a minimalist vocabulary of curved, rounded cylindrical, boxy and conical forms and are created using accumulative and labour-intensive processes.
Using industrial and pre-industrial-era crafts, such as wrapping, lamination and joinery techniques associated with furniture-making and boat-building, the work creates a dialogue between traditional lineages and modern art.
