The big one

A new big piece if work that has involved 5 different thicknesses of wire, steel and copper. I have used forging in this work to create a variation in the thickness of wire, giving an interesting linear quality. Using different twisting techniques also achieves this. This piece is A1 in size and I also have a variety of sketches of this size too!

New wirework

I've done a number of sketches of stone piles at the quarry and now transferring one into a fine wire picture. There isn't much of the roll left so I'm enjoying the last moments of working with this lovely wire...

Boy Andrew sketch after the storm

A new pen and ink sketch of trawlers at Scrabster, the plan is to enlarge it and make a large scale forged wire piece, perhaps including rusted beach finds.
