What is it that you do and how do you do it?
I am a recycled metal sculptor. I collect lots of old recycled metal, mainly from farms – machine parts, old tools, anything that’s metal – and I then weld it into a sculpture of an animal of some description. I always begin with the animal, that’s where the inspiration comes from. There are just so many creatures to create that it’s almost endless, and I can’t think about making anything else at the moment. They can even be fantasy animals – I love dragons and griffins – and I’d love to go down the dinosaur route as well.
Once I’ve built one big thing, I like to mix it up with a few smaller things after that. My biggest piece to date has been the rhino and now I want to go bigger again. Most artists just want to keep challenging where they’re at.
