Stained and gilded bronze forms were a naturalevolution for me after many years of working with clay. The initial shape is still based on theuse of ceramics from which my bronzes are cast. Lotus leaves ot flowering branches, set into Perspex arepermanent flower sculptures; a large bowl can be used as a wash basin, firebowl or sculpture sometimes filled with ice, rose petals and bottles ofchampagne making a spectacular show at any celebration. Each piece is individually cast toorder retaining its unique sculptural quality.
