This photo is an interesting one. Patina (colour of Bronze) is like so much that goes on in the foundry immensely skilful. Bearing in mind that bronze will, if looked after last for, well, more or less for ever. Source: Dorset Sculpture
Worthy to be a Bert
Storm Bert bites back We Bert’s don’t do things by half. Take the Albert Memorial for example! Returning back on Sunday evening from the spaniel delivery I met a wall of water from Oxfordshire all the way down to the West Country. Many times I passed abandoned vehicles in the middle of the flooded roads. […]
New Version In Jesmonite
Having arrived at the decision to cast a new version in Jesmonite rather than the other options; (a completely new work, a repaired copy in bronze, repair the existing with a composite or do block marble repairs etc.), I decided that key features need to be recorded before it was dismantled, so I used putty rubber […]

The Mirror in Alice through the looking glass

The Danish Girl
We’ve been watching some Scandinavian tv dramas recently which reminded me of my Danish girl. This, a second, larger version of this work, came about from a commission request from Denmark, home of the Little Mermaid. Perhaps one shouldn’t like ones own work 🙂 but I really do like this one. I must think of a […]
Blue Monday
So it’s blue Monday! I read that today is the most depressing day of the year. Well a year ago I posted some pictures of a work in progress so to cheer everyone up, here are some pictures taken last summer after Camaraderie was properly installed. Source: Dorset Sculpture
