This Raven Shouting Into The Wind is a self portrait after doing a lot of high end shows in the UK one year in the wettest summer on record. I didn't realize it was a self portrait until I'd finished it, and fell about laughing in my studio when the penny dropped! This smaller wall hanging ceramic bass relief is part of a series of 10 different wall hanging pieces the same size. Others in the series are, Moose Cow, The Hare In The Lane, Wolf and Raven, Leather-back Turtle, Horseshoe Bat, Adder, Octopus, Frog and Wild Boar. Many of these are close to running out, for instance I only have one Hare In The Lane left, and as I am now moving into foundry bronze, there will be no more of them once they are all sold. This bass relief Art Deco inspired sculpture is threaded on the back with a cord which is very strong and won't rust or rot. The sculpture is fired to stoneware temperatures (1260oC if you're askin') and also treated with brick sealant whilst still hot, making it fully weatherproof. So these animal sculptures are suitable for indoor or outdoor spaces.

Throughout my life I have pursued my twin loves of natural and ancient history, and spent my teens shuttling between the Museums of Anthropology, Archaeology and Zoology in Cambridge. My natural history sculptures focus primarily on endangered British animals, and those that have made a comeback. After more than 30 years as a ceramicist I am now moving permanently into foundry bronze. This harder and more resilient material liberates the form from gravity and so widens my creative horizons. By exploring the chemistry of bronze patination, I can also achieve all the colour possibilities previously only available in ceramics. One of my sculptures, Hypnia, was inspired by the bronze head of Hypnos the Greek God of sleep in the British Museum, with my larger version sculpted in clay, and then via 3D printing, reduced down, coming full circle back to a life sized bronze. Predominantly my foundry bronzes are an exploration of British and European wildlife. My Buzzard and Red Kite sculptures are of life sized female birds to help the viewer appreciate the scale and presence of the real animal. My present projects are of a mantling Barn Owl, a Kingfisher in a threat display, a stretching, yawning fox and a twisting Badger, working alongside the Barn Owl Trust, the Badger Trust, Wildlife Rescue centres and the League Against Cruel Sports. Presently, I am working on a Badger Trophic Cascade, an ambitious project which describes in 3D what happens to the wider ecosystem after widespread badger culling, and will use the life sized twisting badger as its base, the species you loose flooding out of its back in a big spiral tide, and the two species that increase rising up out of the badgers shoulders. I exhibit regularly in the South East and South West including at the British Museum, the Henley Festival, the Natural History Museum Oxford, the Royal Academy of Arts London, the Mall Gallery London and La Galleria in Pall Mall, and have won four awards for my bronzes.
