SCULPTURE

Having studied figurative art at Edinburgh College of Art under Philipson, Shilsky and Snowdon (among others) during the late 60’s I spent the early seventies in London exploring more abstract sculptural themes at Central St. Martins and Goldsmiths College.

Following a period working as assistant to the abstract sculptor William Pye I returned to the figure as my main inspiration, making my first low relief nude in 1975.

I have made figurative sculpture since then covering a wide variety of subjects a variety of which can be found on this site.

Most of my work has been commissioned either by  individual clients or as a result of a competition, however, you can see a number of smaller pieces or studies whose origins lay elsewhere.

The following album contains a variety of photographs of my sculptures. SCULPTURE PHOTO ALBUM


LIFECAST

What happens in the LifeCast studio?

During your two hour appointment, you have plenty of time to discuss exactly what kind of cast you would like and have your mould taken.

After preliminary preparation, a warm custard-like material is applied to the skin. This layer cools to form a flexible mould which, supported by a thin layer of plaster, is removed in one piece, concluding the sitting.

From this, a wax positive is pulled, the first step in the eight stages of the bronze casting. The rest of the process takes between 2 and 3 months, depending on the foundry.

Prices for LifeCast pieces range from £300 to £3000 inc. VAT

Apart from purely sculptural work I have also over the years taken commissions for bespoke cast iron firebacks.


These employ the skill of low relief modelling and carry images chosen by the client.
