Commissions
As well as producing the wide range of sculptures, I work with individuals and art consultants on bespoke sculptures for on site installation. The commission work I make is suitable for domestic, corporate and public environments.
If you are interested in discussing an idea for a commission, please contact me with your ideas for the commission. I will be happy to discuss the possibility of making sculpture for your requirement.

Surge Sculptures - Blue Sky Hotel, Dubai, 2019
I recently worked on a commission of two large Surge sculptures to be installed in a hotel and luxury apartment block located in Dubai.
Time Line: Initial inquiry to start of making was 3 months. The lead time for completion of both works was a further 4 months.

Making Process
The construction of the sculptures is entirely hand-built, starting with a ‘core’ and adding coils. As the form grows the sculpture is altered and honed, from the center out, to maintain the integrity of the total form. |

Firing
Each sculpture was made to accommodate the maximum dimensions of the kiln: Width 64cm, Depth 50cm, Height 64cm. During the firing process the sculpture shrinks between 5-10cm |

Application of Colour
Multiple layers of colour are applied first as a wash and then sponged on to create depth and subtle colour variations. |
|
Final Works
Each finished sculpture is sealed and polished. For this commission the works were also USVP proofed and waterproofed. They will be located indoors in a public lobby once they reach their final destination |
