moving sculpture for the masses

‘CRAFTSMAN’
The first automata I built. The fire extinguisher I found in a bush, the helicopter engine in a chapel, the wood from a golf course. Still runs somehow.
“Whirring and clicking, all jagged and covered in valves.”

'CANNONBALL RUN'
'My son John was tall and slim, he had a leg for every limb, but now he’s got no legs at all, for he ran a race with a cannonball'
Made from a piano stool left out in the rain, wood off-cuts, steel bar and a hacksaw blade.
'BANNED BOY'
“Marching to the beat of his own drum”
Made from lime wood and pine, a drum, a soil pipe fitting, bits of castor wheel, with his hands and head sculpted from a polymer clay.
