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.

 Chameleon Skeleton

Based on photographs of reassembled skeletons

The chameleon measures about 85cm long. he is mounted on a steel that has concealed bolts holding it onto an oak plinth. The chameleon can be rottaed round the bar so it can be wall or table mounted, the hooks for wall mounting are concealed under the base.

The head is articulated and can be moved freely. Note the detail on the hands, twenty individual welds on each hand. The tongue is made from brass.

 

Wall mounting. The mounts allow him to mounted facing either left or right, he can also be mounted vertically.

Shadow Casters. a recent development, I have been watching crows latly and have become fascinated by their apparent lack of colour when in the air, almost an absence in space as they glide past. The Shadow Casters are hand cut from photographsusing a plasma cutter to define the silhouette, then mounted in front of a wall so that they cast a shadow that changes as th sun passes overhead. Simple and striking. Interesting that the shadow is much more complete than the sculpture itself. I am happy to make other images in this style. I can see this being a developing area of my work.

Here is a recent photograph of a collection of Shadow Casters from Ian and Valerie Gilmer.

Shadow Casters, Crows £50.00, magpies £60.00 each.
