Moss Deer's Head

This was a piece carrying on with my 3rd year project on nature, at the end of my 1st semester. I made is using papier mache, which I then stuck pieces of moss on to it using PVA glue. I like its earthly feeling, and it looks fun once hung on the wall. 

Branch Chandelier

This was a chandelier that I made from a collection of branches which I wired together. I wanted to do a series of nature inspired furniture. I made some little candle holders out of pieces of wood, which then hung from pieces of wire. It is a fun piece, but temporary as the wood will become brittle and break before too long. 

Wire Figure

Carrying on with the use of wire in my work, I decided to make a wire figure instead. I used a closer kind of mesh to make the figure. I also made the chair from pieces of wood for the figure to sit on.

The sculpture is life size.

Wire Deer

Carrying on with my nature project, I made 2 wire deer sculptures. I made them using a special kind of wire which I bent in to shape. I like their transparency against the background of the garden.

Second Deer sculpture 

Nature project.

This was the start of my 3rd and final year of my degree. I decided to go back to a nature project that I did during my foundation course. I wanted to look at nature combined with the human form.

I decided to make these little mushroom people. I made them using clay for the legs and then papier mache on chicken wire for the mushroom caps. I then decorated them with acrylic paint. 

Nature project continued.

Continuing with my nature project during my foundation year, I then went on to make a sculpture using wire and yew tree. I made the main body of the figure using chicken wire, and I then wove pieces of yew tree in to the chicken wire until it was completely covered.

Nature project.

This was a sculpture that I made during my Foundation year. I was looking at nature and humans, and I wanted to make something that combined the two. It is made from pieces of wood that I found in my garden, held together with various pieces of wire and screws. It is life size.
