Flock

My work is an exploration of beauty and life within organic sculptural pieces. With a focus on the natural world, my work brings beauty to the commonplace or throwaway elements of our lives. The transformation of stainless steel cutlery into animal forms gives an otherwise mundane object a new purpose and a sense of wonder, whilst drawing the mind back to nature and the beauty of the world in which we reside.

By collecting a mixture of pre-loved and new cutlery and utilising the natural shapes and curves of each piece, I create unique and beautiful sculptural works with a sleek and modern aesthetic. Inspired by classic scrap metal art, the elegant forms and delicate style in my work adds a contemporary flare to the scrap metal niche.

This collective piece, Flock, is both an expression of and celebration of beauty and nature. Frozen in time, 100 birds and dragonflies scatter, exalted in flight and watched over by a solitary, majestic eagle.

I am happy to discuss working on commissioned pieces and alternative animal forms.
