Metal Art
‘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 near Topsham, Exeter. It is wonderfully situated on the No.2 National Cycle Network, (Exeter to Exmouth); walking distance from Topsham railway station and 'RSPB reserve 'Bowling Green Marsh' and a 5 minute walk from Darts Farm. I hold an open day every March and 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. I usually do my best to stick signs and balloons out to promote it
