I have often admired industrial moulds that were used to make industrial metal pieces of all shapes and sizes 100 years ago. These moulds were made of wood and often painted orange, black, yellow and red which signified some aspect of the industrial process.

Recently  I purchased 50 of these industrial moulds and I have been making sculptures from them over the last three months.

I find each piece intriguing and beautifully crafted and it has been very exciting using these historical pieces in my recent sculptures.
