The Hand of the Maker is a maquette for a sculpture I created. It celebrates the ability that human beings have to imagine and to turn that vision into reality. This sculpture is offered as a cold bronze table top piece. The simulated stone display base as shown in the photograph is not included. Open edition. Options exist to have it made larger and in other materials. The sculpture takes the form of a stylised star that has fallen to earth where it has split open to reveal the imprint of a human hand. The shape of the star is a reference to the fact that many elements are created by exploding stars which means that all life and indeed all conciousness, is a product of the stars. The maquette is made from plaster which has been painted to replicate a bronze metal finish. In the centre is the imprint of the human hand in silver metal. The sculpture can be enlarged to any scale depending on the clients budget and requirements. It would look great carved from marble or bronze on a city street or fabricated in metal in the foyer of a corporate building or cast in bronze with a marble base on a tabletop. Please contact me for licencing options or to request the price of a table top hot Foundry bronze cast. Cold bronze casts can be made available. Price on request. Turnaround from order to delivery will vary depending on material chosen and scale. A cold bronze resin tabletop sculpture would take about 3 weeks to produce and deliver. Larger objects will take longer. Please contact me for prices.

United Kingdom
I am a UK based Artist born in Northern Ireland but currently living near London. I work as a commercial Sculptor and experimental Fine Art photographer. Professionally, working as a commercial sculptor to make my living, I have over 25 years experience making three dimensional objects for Public Art projects, Theatre, Film, TV and Retail display. My work with photography involves exploring qualities of light on the macro scale, revealed on its passage through, or as it reflects off, natural surfaces and materials. I am fascinated by the idea that all around us there are events and vistas that we cannot percieve because of their transience and minute scale. Some of the scenes captured in my experiments have an other worldly quality to them and could be said to represent fleeting glimpses into other dimensions or modes of perception. I use digital capture equipment and my own method of shooting at the macro level to reveal lights hidden qualities. I have chosen the digital capture, review and editing work flow as the process is quicker than traditional film based media. In my current body of work I have chosen to restrict my capture experiments to early in the morning or after moon rise as the quality of light at these times is at its most interesting. I am inspired by the natural world along with geology and science. I love the work of the Surrealists, Man Rays photograms, 1950s science fiction book cover illustration and classical figurative sculpture. I worked as the Studio Assistant for the Queens Sculptor for Scotland, Sir Eduardo Paolozzi, from early 1997 to late 1998. I have my studio close to home in Surrey, UK.
