This page shows a small collection of wire art that I have made. I use iron and copper wire of differing thicknesses, making 3D drawings. In bright light, the wire shapes create beautiful shadows on the walls behind them. Those lit with night-lights cast a warm gentle shadow on the walls. Small decorative areas of rust can be created on the iron wire, by exposing them to damp conditions. 
I am currently selling wire work at the Dotty Gallery in Twyford, Fosse, Beads & Friends Gallery in Castle Cary and at various events. If you would like to discuss any wirework with me do contact me here.

NEW WIREWORK
​
This recent wirework structure is of a Giant Parsley Seedhead, standing 135cms tall. The seeds are still being held in the delicate dried out stalks and the leaves are crisp and wrinkled. ​
Picture
Over 2000 seed stalks were created.
Picture
Whilst most of the structure was formed using a fine 24 gauge black iron wire, the major stalks were created with a much thicker 16 gauge wire. 
Picture
The seed stalks were bunched together, and then bound.
Picture
Now finished, this piece is comprised of around 2,300 pieces of wire, including a steel rod, to re-enforce the structure of the main stalk. Whilst the seed-head weighs over 1.3kg, it hangs by a single nail.
​
​The wirework is 48cms wide and 18cms deep. With light shining on it, shadows are created on the surface behind, creating another feature of the piece.
​
Picture
Long wire tails were left to help bind the bunched seed stalks to the major stems.
Picture
Smaller, finer seed-heads were created for the more delicate and undeveloped structures.
Picture
When the stalks and stems were joined, small frail leaves and tendrils were created.
