Clockwork Bear

Bronze, Signed and Numbered as one of an Edition of 12

I was inspired by an antique 1910 mechanical German Bing Teddy Bear to create this sculpture. The traditional Bing Bear toy was distinguishable by its long nose and pronounced humpback.
With its worn appearance, darned nose, and many threadbare places, this bronze sculpture is a fun object that revives nostalgic memories of childhood teddy bears but also raises questions about agency.

47cm x 30cm x 15cm

Clockwork Mouse

Bronze, Signed and Numbered as one of an Edition of 12

I have always loved vintage toys and have researched early 1930s tin wind-up toys, which, although considerably bigger, I based this sculpture on.

Mickey Mouse has been part of people’s childhoods for over 90 years.
This delightful bronze windup mouse is a joyful reminder that playfulness knows no age and can inspire creativity.

(Please note that a clockwork system does not operate this sculpture and, therefore, does not move limbs or walk. The key in the back is fixed and part of the sculpture.)

53cm x 40cm x 30cm

Seamus Heaney

Bronze on Stone Plinth

Seamus Heaney MRIA (1939 -2013) was an Irish poet and playwright. He received the 1995 Nobel Prize in Literature.

This sculpture is part of a collection at the Irish Embassy in London, the Irish Embassy in Washington, the Carnegie Corporation of New York, and Sandy Lane Hotel Barbados.

60cm x 40cm x 40cm

Mole

Bronze, Signed and Numbered as one of an Edition of 25

Moles are rarely seen and only noticed after creating mole hills on our lawns. These small, lovable mammals, with their velvety fur and spade-like paws, benefit our gardens when digging their network of tunnels and hunting earthworms. The nearly blind mole has a hyper-sensitive pig-like snout and sensory hairs on its face, making him an expert hunter underground.

18cm x 14cm x 8cm

Marmotte

Bronze, Signed and Numbered as one of an Edition of 25

After having spotted marmots on many hikes through the French Alps, I was inspired to sculpt one in its adoring ‘standing’ position while it keeps a lookout, capturing the beauty and grace of these creatures in their natural habitat.
These large squirrels are active herbivores during the summer and hibernate in winter.
