Bronze Oval Form was inspired by shapes in nature and features a delicate woven band to highlight the curved structure. Cast in bronze and mounted onto a granite plinth.

How Its Made: Each sculpture begins with a sketch and an idea of size and scale required. To create the hollow forms of the sculpture a negative solid core is required, made from a carved block of investment plaster. 

A thick carving wax is used to hand work the smooth inner of the carved form, the outer twist is created by hand weaving long lengths of extruded wax using a five stranded spiral weave

This unique wax sculpture is transported to the foundry to be transformed into bronze using the lost wax technique, where every individual strand of wax is preserved. 

The sculpture is finished with a speckled brown patina, given a polish of bees wax and attached onto a cubed granite plinth.
