The Scraptor Sculpture Trail at Stourhead

The Scraptors are resting a bit after installing a sculpture trail at Stourhead, the National Trust property in Wiltshire. Above my Hercules and Serpent . The Ancient Greek Boy Wonder dispatched them from his infancy. Below The Eye a joint work with my fellow Scraptor Paul Boswell. On the tree trunk a Chameleon by Scraptor Fiona Campbell. The trail continues through September.

A Serpent for Hercules

Work in progress for an Infant Hercules strangling a Serpent to be exhibited in the woods at Stourhead Gardens in Wiltshire in September. The exhibition, in which I will be collaborating with three other artists, will reflect the themes of the classical English romantic garden. This particular piece will pick up on the Classical mythology of the sculptures in the temples dotted around the lake.
