Wire 'drawing'

Using ordinary gardening wire these sculptures have been made using a continuous line technique, but in 3 dimensions. Consideration has been given to the weight and quality of line in conveying an aspect of the animal depicted. Some are incomplete, and some explore just one element of the creature.

Penguin

The mechanical animal penguin; I liked the idea of how you can use technology to overcome something that is naturally impossible. In this case, penguins cannot fly naturally, so like us, they've built machines to help them.

Pigeon

These images are from my Research Methodology project,  where I explored the pigeon as my chosen animal. By using pencil, ink and water colour, I have attempted to communicate aspects of the pigeon which interest me such as colour, form and movement. I tried to put a positive and humorous spin on my work to change people preconception of the pigeon, which is often negative.
