As well as sculpture in hard and natural landscapes and functional objects for parks and private houses I have made and exhibited sculpture since around 1980!
In fact sculpture is what I would be making in an ideal world but people still seem to prefer cheap resin fauns and rabbits in their gardens and cast stone cupids in their ponds. There is also a belief that it is too expensive; some sculpture certainly is, but most professional sculptors I know would create site specific work in gardens to a reasonable budget. We are not all millionaires created by the Satchis!
Yesterday I started work on a series of new steel sculptures one or two of which might well be exhibited at the bi-annual exhibition at Quennington.

Chi House was made a few years ago but is a good example of the transformation of an everyday object into sculpture. Hibernating in my workshop it needs a home and another coat of Nickel.
