Mary Magdalene

I am recently returned from Durfort, in the Cathar area of France, where I carved this sculpture of Mary Magdalene in an existing tree stump. This was in the garden of an interfaith retreat center. Hot work!

Driftwood Wing

A piece of driftwood I found that originally looked like a mammoth bone - the other way up. I turned it over and saw that it was a wing.

Moonrise

Moonrise, or The Fox and the Oak Tree, a second commission just completed. Now I am looking at books of Grotesques, Gargoyles, and Miserichords, to build up some ideas for carving small and strange medeival creatures. Watch this space,,,,

Peace Tree

It was my pleasure to carve this commissioned piece for a good friend's birthday. A mighty piece of top grade oak, which weighed a lot!

Loosely based on the face of Sylvia Pankhurst, the most socialist of the Pankhurst girls, who bravely took an anti-war stand in 1914, while her sister & mother encouraged men to sign up.

Red Fox

I found this small piece of driftwood on the beach, it looked dull rust coloured. Starting to carve it, I saw it is a rich deep red, perfect for a fox. A friend thought it looked like a particular red wood found in Brazil, & suggested it had come through many oceans to reach me.

The Empty Studio

My extraordinarily empty studio! I have just had the walls & ceiling insulated with 52mm celletex, and after 25 years of freezing I am looking forward to being warmer. And what good timing, with this February freeze. Meanwhile I have been working on sketches for new works in the kitchen.
