"Gears"

"Gears" was made from found metal objects and recycled metal. It represented one years work for me and took over 100 hours to complete back in 2001. It was very trying for me to finish and nearly exhusted my skills to work with heat distortion of bending each 6mm rod onto the next. By completing this peice it lead me to using this material in other ways which have been very satisfying. Will post photo of the other side.

Mindscape

"Mindscape" started its life from a 500kg pour of molten metal for hardened earth moving machines however two major things went wrong. One beening the sand mould didnot fix properly and second the box clamps can adrift then it poured out onto the floor to form a slab of metal about 6m long X 3 m wide,steam bubbles formed in the cooling metal as moisture from the floor tryied to escape.
