Sculpture

My natural inclination is to make, create and craft objects. I began exploring the medium of wire sculpture in 2000. My first piece of work was a commission for a life-size figure of a person working in a garden. Since then I have created a menagerie of beasts, from baboons to sharks and human figures too.
