Sculptors and Sculptures 2006

 

Ant Beetlestone - 'A Family of Wild Boar' Wild boar have escaped from farms and are now living and breeding is small pockets of woodland across Britain. Wild boar became extinct in Britain 300 years ago – what will they make of how the country has changed?
Mick Burns - 'Mantis' A preying mantis hunts for unlucky victims!
Paul Clarke - 'Kingfisher' A kingfisher rising from the water. Paul enjoys contact with the public and uses mainly hand tools.
Daniel Cordell - 'Close Quarters' Influenced by architecture and minimalism, this design can seem both playful and intriguing or sinister and harbouring.
Lee Dickenson - 'Devotion' Two swans with their necks entwined forming a heart shape. Swans mate for life – could we humans learn from their devotion? Lee carries out a wide variety of work from his studio, from architectural and ecclesiastical work to polished carved furniture.
Ed Harrison - 'Friea' A carving incorporating a seat in a graceful design of a mythical woman with her hair falling loose over her shoulders.
Tom Harvey - 'Girl and Swan' A graceful design of a woman and a swan.
Bill Hodgson - 'Fresh Start' A mother in East Africa pours water onto the earth to nourish her crops. Her child cups his hands to catch the life-giving liquid. These apparently simple actions symbolise our global dependency on water for existence, threatened to varying degrees when drought is experienced. We can never take for granted this life force.
Alexander Ivanov (Bulgaria) - 'The Tree of Life' Symbolising Nature in all her glory, this carving incorporates a seat. Alexander is an experienced sculptor who has taken part in many international wood sculpture symposiums.
Brett McLain (USA) - 'The Gateway' This impressive archway is to be carved from several logs fitted together.
Anthony Rogers - 'Capricorn' An abstract design featuring a crescent moon design. Anthony trained as an archaeologist before undertaking art studies. He has undertaken numerous private commissions and public art projects.
Paul Sivell - 'Dark Age Warrior' A striking design of a warrior going into battle upon a rearing horse.
