'Protection II:The Warning'

This sculpture is made from polymer clay, organic material and gem stones. 'Protection II: The Warning' is the second part to the pencil drawing that is in fact my header for this blog :D entitled 'Protection: Mechanical Reproduction'. This sculpture captures the creation of an alien/mythological creatures life at its development stage. The question is whether or not to destroy this dangerous creature before it annihilates our civilization?

Tails from the River Bank

This is a sculpture made from Polymer clay. It’s a wall hanging called “Tails from the River Bank” a play on words ‘Tails’ instead of ‘Tales’ - you get the idea haha. I started this piece by wanting to create a ‘bone’ texture from polymer clay; the form of a cross section of a vertebra was perfect to display this. I then wanted to create a skin like texture from polymer, when noticed the cross sectioned vertebra looked similar to a flat fish, like a plaice or a stingray. This inspired me to make an ‘alien’ river creature. The photographs where taken by photographer Rebecca Maggs.
