The Boy Andrew

This picture will be on it's way to Alessandro Studios in Broughty Ferry once the piece is in it's giant frame! The boat is 70 cm in height and the black pieces are lacquered rust beach finds. I'm going to add some red to the Sparkling Star, the other two boats are black.

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...

Boats in the harbour

Knitted together into one not so finished picture from one of my quick sketches!
