Yes Poppaclutch .... I am guilty of self promotion on the net . I guess Im trying to make a full time career of a (so far ) profitable hobby . we all gotta eat ! . cheers mate.
Thanks Diver Mike and Frosty, Yes...... our wildlife is not as savage as in Alaska but they do tend to have a bit of a chew on you after you have rotted a bit after dying from the poison they administered while you slept.!
Thank you Aden, So Cal , Seldom, Winddancer and Big Gun Doc. I am entering 4 pieces in a show( more pics soon) and with this one I was going to try to enter the "Contemporary "section (If only I knew wot that meant!)yes i agree with your comment about the neck however with this sculpture I have tried to be more abstract and "contemporary" so left it more open and more bits missing . The main components are the pin lock square cut teeth off a dozen ploughs (plows) . These were used to lock the implement at a certain height. I ran out of them!
Big Guns yes I these lizards have claws that would shame an eagle -lethal. I nearly lost a jack russel dog from blood loss after getting deeply hooked on a claw of a injured goanna
here is a kangaroo I am also entering.......................... cheers and beers
.
Very nice work. I have a small suggestion............. in photo number 2 the horses hind legs look human not equine , if you reverse the
'knee" bend to the rear and mount it further towards the tail it may give a different look. just a thought. I love what you are doing with steel. cheers
thats great news Michael, I must agree with you ......If you can convey your passion about the art then the battle for a commission is nearly won.
PS I would love to steal that power point presentation of yours so I could get an idea how to present a proffessional proposal. lol
well done on getting another big gig.

Hi everyone , well the sculpture is in its final destination.
Below is a link to a newspaper article that covered the story. I have attached some photos (courtesy of PCAV NORTH EAST ZONE)
I did not attend the opening as i considered it a very personal and private affair for taylors friends and famil I am told it was very well recieved> what made me most happy are the smiling faces of the children>
