Metal Birds
May 7th, 2010
Does anyone know this sculptor, wood and metal works based on bird shapes?
While I was still at college one of the tutors showed me pictures of a set of works influenced by body shapes of birds. I think they were photographed next to dead birds! They were made out of wood and metal as far as I remember. I think the sculptor was british, possibly welsh, but not certain.
@Emi..very nice! It wasn’t him but thanks for the suggestion
Could it have been Guy Taplin?
He made some amazing sculptures of birds out or driftwood
