Just over a year ago I bought over 100 industrial moulds. These moulds were used by industry over 100 years ago. They have text and numbers and each piece is intricate and unique and beautifully crafted.

I fell in love with these pieces and set to laying them all out on the rug in our living room and started playing with them. Some combined easily whereas other combinations came very suddenly and unexpectedly after much time and consideration.

I now have created 26 sculptures using the industrial moulds. Most are figurative, some are masks and some are abstract. All to me are very beautiful.
