This is a small mixed-media sculpture 18x18x15cm. The title is inspired by the wings which are made from a can of Pellegrino Orange. I find delight in shapes and those making up the wasp are beautiful, I think. My attention, however, was mainly on the delicate wings that can carry a greater weight than itself, so I made a feature of them. In making 3D I enjoy exploring various materials and juxtaposing them to discover what might emerge. Here I have used aluminium, wire, clay, copper sheeting and alkyd paint. .

I look for the potential decorative aspects contained in the the subject I wish to paint. Then it is about the process of creating an artist's viewpoint, rather than realism itself. This involves the elements of shape, thinking in terms of an overall pattern and then creating a pleasant mood through choosing colour(s). The aim is simply to enjoy the process of creating and hopefully another viewer of the artwork will have an enjoyable experience also. I think the best interpretation of what I attempt to produce is contained in a quotation from Matisse: “What I dream of is an art of balance, of purity and serenity devoid of troubling or depressing subject matter - a soothing, calming influence on the mind, rather like a good armchair which provides relaxation from physical fatigue.”
