I do intend to put a load of arty stuff on these pages, but at the moment, I've only managed to scan a few pictures of some of my favourite pieces.

I don't really go for painting, I really love sculpture, particularly sculpture that you can interact with in some way.

I'll have a go at explaining why I like this stuff, but if I start to get a bit pretentious, just let me know.

You should note that I'm not into Photography, I just like taking pictures. Just about all the pictures on this page are "lacking", but if you want to see them in higher quality, just nip over and look at the sculpture yourself - it's always better to see these things in three dimensions than in only two.

David & Goliath

Close up details

This is quite superb - it's called "David and Goliath", and it's in the sculpture park on the national mall in Washington. It's certainly my favourite bit from there - closely followed by the sack people a little further down the page.

It's kind of abstract - though you can clearly make out David, Goliath seems to be more than a little the worse for wear.

I really liked the subtle textures of the sculpture - the way there are perfectly smooth regions which gently blend into more specular, slightly distressed areas, then with rips and tears showing a chaotic centre.

Sack People

Closer views

I liked this because of the different impression you get as you walk by it.

When you first see it through the bushes, it looks like the figures are starting to fight, there is a lot of agression in some of the poses - they are jockeying for position, as if trying to build up enough bravado to start fighting.

As you walk further round, the mood of the arrangement changes so it looks more like the figures are whispering amongst themselves, perhaps joking.

This shows one of the great things about sculpture - the way a static medium can become dynamic, changing with the angle from which you look.
