I cast this maquette and am very excited by the quality of finish and colour. The original form comes from another found object this time a piece of tree bark.

‘Temple’

temple-9010023

First stage maquettes for a sculpture to be called ‘Temple.’

Inspired by some of the great stone circles. The individual forms grow from pieces of kindling, giving an organic feel to the structure. I have placed a model figure to give an idea of the proposed scale.

‘Whole’ – A finished maquette

These are photos of the 62cm maquette for ‘Whole.’ It is cast in HAC (High Alumina Cement). Copies in HAC or bronze may be ordered; for bronze you should approach Castle Foundry, contact me for copies in HAC.

An 8 foot version can be viewed at my studio during Helfa Gelf September 2013.
