The sculptures are made from copper with brass, steel, aluminium and bronze details; all of which are obtained through recycling services, scrap metal merchants and donation. Glaze textures are reached through reactive mixtures. All pieces are hand painted using a variety of different paints, inks and finishes.

‘As a sculptor I originally engaged with found animal skeletons that I combined with recycled metals, creating work to compliment the beauty of animals in both life and death. More recently I have been substituting real bones with metal frames/skeletons.’
