I use wire, mesh, wood, clay, paint, .925 silver, tools like knives, saws, sand paper, pens, pencils, hammers, brushes, etc, and all kinds of other things like stones, feathers, material of al kinds, and anything else I find.
The Fleet in Dorset is a beautiful and varied landscape - this sculpture was inspired by a part near to Chickerell.
Within a stained and varnished wooden frame, a cliff and tall stony beach rise; made from oasis wrapped in wire and covered in compacted and sculpted clay - with tiny little real stones for the beach.
Between them the brackish water flows, and a lone character makes their way in a small boat toward the black hut in the corner that escapes the frame.
It measures 14 x 11 x 5 inches.
An elegant textured groove around the band flows to gently swept lines that perfectly frame a delicate silver blossom quietly escaping from the centre of the ring.
A subtle reminder to be strong and free – because even tiny beauty that usually floats on the breath of the wind can end up fixed in place and held captive if it’s not careful.
The butterfly symbolises rebirth and brings messages of love and delicate strength from the spirit world. Built on a wire and mesh frame, with compacted clay, and 4 layers of varnish over acrylics and iridescent mix, this sculpture is eye catching, strong and durable. And I think you'll agree, the poise and expression give her chracter and movement. But it remains delicate and should be treated very carefully. It measures roughly 8 inches by 8 inches.
