‘Recycling
metal into bespoke art’
I recycle
because second-hand metal is an abundant material that I can find in many
places, it also introduces a positive narrative of renewal and value to the discarded.
The metal is
sourced from Plymouth and surrounding South Devon. I use a lot of cutlery and
domestic wares from charity shops, as well as scrap steel from industrial
units, farms and bike shops.
The work
celebrates the wonder that animals bring to life. For anyone new to my
sculptures they are realistic representations and I pay particular attention to
their sense of movement, form and behaviour.
I love to connect
with the beauty of creation. Twice a year I have an open day, at my workshop
and gallery in Ermington, once in March and once in October. It is a great way
to see how I work. You will see how I start from photos, drawings and progress
to models and then metalwork.
