Natural and Abstract Sculptures
Bonsai Ginkgo Tree
Dimensions: 84" x 72" x 72"
Construction: 2004. Forged and cast silicon bronze, stone
Description: The bronze bonsai gingko tree was a year in the making. The client initially approached me with an opportunity to create a sculptural piece for a blank exterior wall on their house.
The concept soon became 3 dimensional in nature and evolved into a freestanding tree piece that drew upon the fascinating leaf shapes of the ancient Gingko Tree, coupled with my interest in the Japanese art of Bonsai.

Gateway

Construction: 2007. Forged steel
Description: The folding and squashing of bar stock happened much by chance one day while playing around with hammer die effects.
It grew into a bit of an obsession - wanting to explore all the different ways metal could be folded and arranged to create totemic-like sculptures.
