‘’After Bacon’’, was carved and named after seeing Francis Bacon's 1953 painting Velazquez's Portrait of Pope Innocent X’, commonly known as 'The Screaming Pope'. Whilst living in the Fens, East Anglia, I came across Bog Oak and decided to use the medium for this sculpture, due to it’s qualities (these include, no grain, hardness, blackness) plus, the unusualness of this wood. Buried in peat bogs and preserved from decay by the surrounding conditions, when dug up, it might thousands of years old. The wood is usually a deep black colour. This carving is from a collection of about 30 works, which I carved whilst living in the Fens during the 1990's. Half of these sculptures sold at exhibitions, the others have been in my private collection until now, when I have decided to offer them for sale. The head of this sculpture 'After Bacon' is removable, for ease of packing and is easily placed onto the body once more, for display. "After Bacon" stands on a metal base.

UK The inspiration for my art comes from dreams, myths, travels and intuition. My works are mainly figurative and my root influences are what I experience, (the pain and pleasure of life). I believe that creativity is a pathway to the soul, it both expresses and illuminates.
