There's an ever increasing flock of birds in the workshop waiting to fly off to their various Christmas shows
Horse of Sparta off to a new home
Well the wonderful Jack Tierney gallery in Aberdeen have already found a new home for my 'steampunk' Horse.
Sorry it wasn't a little longer in the gallery!
Upcycled Sculpture ready for Leeds
'Hare Belle' 79cm high x 37cm long x 22cm wide
This piece is going to be shown at the Leeds show in November. It is made from a whole assortment of recycled and now 'upcycled' materials!
I have made several Hares in the past and they are such a beautiful form to work on, I try to portray their seemingly deceptive fragile structure and their ever alert state of presence.
In this piece close inspection will reveal car windscreen wipers, bits from a cafetiere, a dog collar and cupboard handle amongst many other 'found' objects.
'Steampunk' Horse on it's way to Aberdeen!
'Horse of Sparta' is 63cm high x 74cm long x 20cm high
it is off to the Jack Tierney Gallery in Aberdeen.
This lively piece is made with a wire armature onto which I have attached a variety of found, recycled and now 'upcycled' materials. Close inspection will reveal dog leads, hinges, old clock parts,keys and cutlery amongst many other items.
I love this piece and hope it will find fans in Scotland.
