About

Sculpting life in clay,
and when the magic happens,
transcend it in bronze.
Working a portrait like an extract,
emphasising a detail and leaving the eye free to extend it.
Exploring this wild and brutal world,
and those moments of calm, intimate and timeless.
Telling the story of animal violence
- in life, in death - but also in survival.
One species disappears, another reappears...
Sometimes showing its fangs,
in fights and brawls,
passion and rutting...
This is the story of my bestiary.
