New Ideas

I have been thinking of some new ideas for the commission for a more 3D piece. The school would like a permanent outdoor piece, so it needs to be secure and weatherproof. The materials that I specialise in, i.e. porcelain, would not be a safe or a secure option for this piece of work. I am recommending the use of stainless steel and acrylic, the acrylic will keep it's colour and is available in many different shades. Steel is flexible, strong and weatherproof....

I have been collecting natural structures, weeds etc, during my walks along the canal in Stroud. I often look to nature to help me build structures..it sounds like a cliche, but nature is the best engineer! My plants at home have helped to visualise an idea, please see the above images....
