It's always exciting to start a new sculpture but this is particularly exciting as it's the start of a new series all of which will be carved from very old elm ceiling beams that were removed from my family home during a major renovation. It is rare to find any elm to work with these days and it is such a beautiful wood ..so a double privilege to be able to work with some that has such a personal connection for me too!
I work with 'direct carving' and it can be a lengthy process... watch this space
