DECORATIVE METALWORK AND SCULPTURE

​Dragon Fly

Dragon Fly lives at The Blue Pool in Purbeck, Dorset.

I was commissioned to create a large piece that combined the natural with a twist of the art deco as The Blue Pool dates from the 1930’s.

Overall it stands 5 metres high on the unfurling fern and has a wing span of 3 metres, so quite an undertaking. But a rewarding piece to create. Its made from steel, copper, stainless steel and a bit of brass thrown in for good measure, its all fabricated from new material so each piece is shaped and formed mainly by hand.
