About me

I have over 20 years of experience and success in the creation of high quality artwork designed to withstand the rigours of the public space. Works have been in 3 dimensions, as well as ground and wall based relief. Over the years I have made new works for town centres, community gardens, public recreation grounds, local authority buildings, housing association developments as well as libraries, hospitals and health centres.

This week I decided to make moulds from the first 7 roundels before the clay started to dry out and shrink. The rubber moulds are now ready and I will take resin casts from them in the next few days. These will go of to the foundry to be cast in bronze.
Work has continued on the roundels with a further 3 being completed.

Working on the Clays

The time line includes 15 bronze roundels. These are first modelled in clay from which rubber moulds will be taken. These will be used to make resin casts to be used by the foundry for sand casting.

So far 4 of the 15 clays are in progress.
