the Lost Valley diary...
first day of construction, ‘strength’...
The first day of construction, first job,
to find the centre of the sculpture..
Then to some how find a starting
point, the first important piece of
construction that decides the strength,
scale and basic shape of the sculpture.
The first piece also gets the flow of my
work going, the hardest part is
to get going!
From this point an organic flow
begins, working around the form,
adding each piece to keep the balance in
360 degrees. The wood I have collected
and shaped, intuitively speaking about how it wants to
be built and grow into the final form...
