During a visit to Broomhill Sculpture Gardens I discovered the artist Mike Roles and find his work fascinating.
Roles sculptures deal with the human condition in an uncompromising and perhaps sometimes disturbing manner, reflecting on the relationship between body and mind, time and decay, life and death. And when seen for the first time, its emotional intensity and rawness of its message may come as a shock.

Some of Roles earlier work
Using materials such as resins, fibreglass and plastic in conjunction with the life casts. Roles was determined to produce figures that incorporated photographic elements, which were often printed onto tissue and trapped inside the resin.
