Sculpture
One Sculpture for the University of Kent campus in Canterbury. The initial design was founded by a university competition, i the had the joy of converting the C.A.D idea into a maquette as part of the pitch. This was then used to scale up all aspects of the final piece. Enjoy the time lapse video of the build.
I've always liked working on pieces that involve oak leaves and acorns, a simple design which works really well... and plenty of power hammer work!!! These decorative panels will be fitted to wooden curves top gates (see sketch). The acorns are particularly fun and are made by wrapping 40x20 flat bar around 20mm round bar and fire welding the two together under the Massey. Main stock used is 40x15 for the bulk of the piece.
