CAVE PAINTING SCULPTURES

I have started working on a series of sculptures inspired by the recent discovery of the oldest known cave drawing in Indonesia. The 'Wild pig'.

I am working in plaster, trying to capture the elemental and earthly embodiment of the animals represented. I want them to have the movement and feel of being raised from the ground. The earth pigments they used were after all from the ground.

The idea is to have some of them cast in bronze.

NEW WORK 2021

Happy new year. Hope his one will be better than last.

I have started working hard in the studio with a number of ideas in flux.

Below is a new work that is in progress. Combining plaster and found wood. I wanted to create a radiating energy with he way the wood is combined. Ray of hope in this uncertain world at the moment.
