Bird Sculptures

Concept:

This category is centred around bird sculptures. The sculptures include a variety of species and range in size. They are created from primarily reclaimed metal and can have wood incorporated into them for a different texture and appeal.   

Development:

I have always been fascinated with birds and I'm fortunate enough to live in an area with an abundance of birdlife. This has provided an opportunity to observe and capture form and movement through creative expression. With these sculptures in particular, I try to capture the essence of a bird rather than a replication. For example, the graceful almost dignified stance of heron to the intense landing of an eagle. As the study of this subject matter continues to evolve it will be reflected through the evolution of my work.
