Scrabble45 x 135 x 105 cm |  |
| Cast in bronze from an original created in cardboard, this sculpture delights in transformation; from small scale to large, from hard to soft and then to hard again, from a working moving mechanism to inanimate and from temporary to premanent. | |
Owl of Few Words63 cm (H) |  |
| Originally commissioned by Lancashire County Council to replace the lost sculpture which once stood on the newel post of Accrington's Victorian Library. The owl, depicted on the stained glass widow behind the staircase, has flown down from the window. And now he sits there, turning his head to follow visitors with his gaze as they climb the stairs.The owl in the title refers to the nursery rhyme: A wise old owl, sat in an oak; the more he heard, the less he spoke. | |
My Body60 x 75 x 45 cm approx |  |
| A swan, absorbed in the act of preening its feathers. So graceful on the water, the swan is rather less so on dry land. Her body is cumbersome, yet she stretches her leg it seems in imitaion of a ballerina, perfectly poised.Photographed by Eddie Powell at Pride of the Valley Sculpture Park | |
Two Hounds a-Hunting58 x 178 x 51 cm |  |
| The sculptures of two hounds and a wild boar were originally commissioned for a new park near a medieval hall. I imagined a medieval hunting scene with hounds chasing a wild boar. The dogs are fast and ferocious, their bodies made up from bits of machinery and ropes, underlining their sinewy strength and tension in motion. | |
