Hunter Sculpture

Many years ago way back in my youth I was introduced to three dimensional form while working as a display artist. Given the job of carving clouds from a block of polystyrene I nervously cut away one small piece after another and at that moment I felt a welling up of excitement and immediately new that sculpture was to be my forte. Some years later I discovered clay and loved its plasticity. I enjoy working with the human form and spend many hours observing people, the way they move and look. Different expressions on their faces fascinate me so observing them I record this sometimes mentally and other-times by sketching. I work with incomplete sculptured bodies allowing the viewers imagination to fill in the missing pieces I was born in Birmingham England in 1943. My family emmigrated to South Africa in 1948. I was fortunate to have developed my creative abilities from an early age under the guidance of my father who was a lecturer at the London Academy of Arts and Crafts.
