This page highlights the smaller sculptures that I make. These are items that I usually have a small stock of so they are available at short notice. Note if you like the look of any of these and would want something in a similar style please contact me to discuss your needs.

I recently made a sculpture as a homage to Alberto Giacometti, in my opinion one of the greats of figurative sculpture, I saw some of his work as a child and it has never left me.

This sculpture is made of overwelded mild steel, measuring 40cm tall and is mounted on a base of polished Chestnut wood, it is for sale at £300.00. I can make sculpture in a smilar style larger or smaller, please contact me for further details.

 

Small Dragonfly on Reeds.

A sculpture of  Dragonfly in mild steel with stainless steel wings (wingspan around 45cm) perched on some reeds. I have mounted it so that it can be positioned projecting over a ledge such as the edge of a pond as in this picture. For sale at £250.00, I have a similar Dragonfly unmounted at  £200.00

Linnophryne Penibarbata, an anatomical of one of the Deep Atlantic Angler fishes, in real life she is around 5" long. This angler fish sculpture is No II of an ongoing series based on the drawings of Marine Biologist Richard Ellis. made in mild steel fillet brazed together using brass filler rod to give the contrasting colours. Measuring 90cm by 70cm this sculpture is for sale at £550.

A detail of the chuin barbules, made from antique forks

I have just started making small snails, these are around 70mm long and made of mild steel. They are for sale at £20.00 each.

A recent development Coathangers as sculpture.

Simple functional and humorous,these coathangers are made in overwelded mild steel, I can supply these as pairs or singly, I can also make them communicating in any sign language you like, from giving 'the finger' to British Sign language. £95.00 per pair or £50.00 individually. Pictured from above, below and a close up shot.

 

Another in the series of anatomical fishes.

'The fish that changed the world'. For sale at £250.00. 85cm long Made in mild steel with details and joints applied in brass

 A study of an Atlantic Cod, as fished off the grand banks off Newfoundland and basically fed the European expansion into the rest of the world. Tragically fished out in the 1970's and 80's, an environmental disaster story. Read Mark Kurlansky's 'Cod The Fish That Changed The World' for more information.

A recent creation here, a FirePot, made out of part of a Harrow. Just the the thing for festivals, lazy evenings in the garden and it can be used as a barbecue. It also includes a smaller version to catch any embers so your lawn or decking wont get scorched. Note also the trumpet underneath which draws in air to get the fire going. Priced at £220.00

Another picture of the Fire Pot, this time in action.

Especially popular are the ''Wall Climbers'' these are small wall mounted models of free climbers, amusing and affordable with the added attraction that they can be used to hold small items, eg lamps or hats. Below are a few images of Wallclimbers. First image is one holding a lamp, these can be supplied in pairs, left and right handed. These are about 15 inches/40cm tall and are £45.00 each.

 Next is a photo of a group of middle sized climber sculptures taking on the North Face of Swan Court. These guys get plenty of funny looks from people walking up the street. These stand around 70cm/2.5ft tall and cost £65.00 each.

 

 

Lastly we have the large Walclimber sculpture, these are 2m/6ft tall and are £220.00

 

I usually have a few of the climbers in stock, and am happy to make them to order, I can even make them as replicas of photographs to save a favourite image in steel.
 
A recent development of the wall climbers was inspired by my Wife's feelings for the Spirit World in general, and especially her interest in the healing powers of Earth Angels. These sculptures are made in a similar style to the Wallclimbers, but I have freed them from the bond of gravity. These are the first of these that I have made so I would value any opinions of them. To mount them I have made discrete brackets out of annealed (soft) steel that allows their final posture to be easily adjusted. These examples measure in at 40cm and are priced at £45.00.
 
The first one is at home in my house. The next is pictured just outside my workshop, with the sky behind him these would make fantastic additions to picture windows or outdoor structures. I am able to make these on a larger scale if needed, or with different mountings eg sidewards or free hanging.

 

The last picture is of a group of these figures on the wall in my workshop, I can even supply clouds to go with them.

If you want to order a sculpture from this list or commission a similar piece feel free to contact me.

Representing an older but still popular body of work are my Daemons, possibly inspired by the work of Harry Harryhausen in Jason and the Argonauts ( I watched this film too many times in my youth). made out of old bicycle parts and victorian cutlery.

  

They come in a variety of forms, usually armed to the teeth

   

The feet and weapons are made of cutlery, in this case the sword is made of bits of a fork and fish knife.

    

These figures usually stand around 12" tall and cost around £50.00    

All three examples in this photograph are available for sale, I can even make groups of them to commission.
