One of the things which inspire my work is RUST! I thought I would share a few images & also mention a new studio on the horizon.

My latest work 'Metallic texture' is a combination of unique copper & brass designs. Each individual cut out piece has a one-off surface. Inspired by Barbara Hepworth & Troika pottery the framed assemblages have a 'retro' feel.
