Blue and White Head

I used the remains of two old rusty buckets for this head and shoulders which stands about three feet high, one for the shoulders and one for the face.

New Mushrooms for my garden

I made some mushrooms for the Scraptors exhibition at Stourhead last autumn and decided I would like some for my own garden. The stems are flue piping used for chimneys. the nearer ones are topped with bits of a barbecue and the further ones with stainless steel industrial lamp shades.

Egret comes home

My Egret has come come home from the Scraptors Sculpture Trail at Stourhead. There it was in a large pond. In my garden it has to make do with a smaller one. The body was the petrol tank of a motorbike.

Goodbye Stourhead and the Summer

After a long Indian summer the leaves fall on the water round my Egret and it is time for the Beyond the Garden Gate sculpture trail of the Scraptors Sculpture Group to leave. We packed it all up yesterday with the help of an army of National Trust machines and helpers.

Rainbow over my Procession

I have been adding to the Procession in my Field. An old wheelbarrow became another creature on the far left and a ventilation shaft a tall figure. I rushed out in a shower to catch the rainbow.

Ventilation shaft transformed

I was given this ventilation shaft. It has become a Figure with the addition of eyes. I have placed it with a Centaur in my procession in my field..

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.

Installing Sculpture at Stourhead

With my fellow Scraptors I have been installing work at Stourhead for our Sculpture Trail which will be in place throughout September. This is my Egret meets a Creature from the Deep and my Giant Flying Barn Owl

Spider for Stourhead

This is an old iron board about to become a spider in an eight metre wide web that will hang at Stourhead in Wiltshire in the Scraptors sculpture trail throughout September. It will be about to pounce on a trapped insect.

Spider for Stourhead

I went to Stourhead the National Trust garden in Wiltshire to measure the curtains figuratively. As part of a sculpture trail I am creating with my fellow members of the Scraptors Sculpture Group to be on show throughout the month of September 2011 I will make a giant spider like the one shown here I made for a client in Sussex. It will hang between these two trees at Stourhead pictured here. There are eight metres between the two trees

Long Necked Bird

I have just completed the Long Necked Bird. Its neck is about four feet long. Busy making new stuff and improving the garden for my opening in the Wylye Valley Art Trail in Wiltshire that runs from May 28th to June 5th 2011.

Work in Progress on Mural

I am creating a mural which combines sculpture and painting with fellow artists Paul Boswell and Rachel Macleay in my garden. This is one section of it. It will extend about forty feet along a hut and fence. It will be on show in the open studio event of the Wylye Valley Art Trail from May 28th to June 5th 2011 in Wiltshire

Medusa reflected in a mirror

I had the idea ages ago of creating a Medusa's Head which one would see first in a mirror. You will recall that Perseus was obliged to cut her head off looking in a mirror to avoid being petrified. I have finally got round to it. This is on the door of a shed in my garden behind bushes. This and a whole lot more will be open in my sculpture mad garden for the Wylye Valley Art Trail in Wiltshire from May 28th to June 5th 2011.

New gate

I have been upgrading a rather neglected part of my garden. I have made a new flower bed and made the gate from some bits of scrap iron in the skip outside a company. My garden will be open for the Wylye Valley Art Trail in Wiltshire from May 28th to June 5th 2011. By then the plants will have sprouted. A lady faces a unicorn. According to mediaeval legend unicorns were very fond of ladies.

My Frog at Stourhead for photoshoot

With my collaborators the Scraptor Sculptor Group. I took my Frog to Stourhead, the National Trust garden in Wiltshire for a photo shoot. In September it will feature in an exhibition in the woods next to the lake

The Scraptors at Stourhead

I have joined Fiona Campbell, Paul Boswell and Rachel Macelay to form a group which we are calling the Scraptors as we all make sculpture from scrap. We will offer themed landscape trails. This was our photoshoot at Stourhead, the iconic National Trust property in Wiltshire , where we have our first "gig", a sculpture trail in the adjacent woods. Here we pose in heron masks by the Heron made by Paul and Rachel.

My Frog Moby goes to California

The Internet is a wonderful thing. I made Moby the Frog in 2009 for the Love London Recycled Sculpture Show which I curated at WWT London Wetland Centre. The image is to be used by BCS Recycling Specialists in a brochure being handed out at a medical industry conference in Anaheim California. The frog is covered with dummy mobile phones ones used for dislpay in shops. The mouth is a flipped over TV satellite dish.

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.

Owls Flying

On a windy day my two owls appear to be flying.

Monstrous Tree

I am planning a sculpture park with three other artists in a country estate. This is an enormous Found Object which with the addition of an eye will make an excellent monster. There is ice on the pond in this photo but normally there is a double image in the water.
