Just a few of my favourite bits so far. I'm having bit of a re-think about my work and might change things up bit but i do think these elements have certain things about them that i might continue with. I really like the drawing and sculpture mix. The combination of controlled sculpted forms and loose expressive drawn lines works well together i think.
