This was my inspiration for this piece
The half size maquette from which I worked
I thought it best to piece together the maquette with the gate it will guard
Getting rid of the waist. This the quickest way.
Now the “air” has gone, its time to start the shaping.
Roughing out
Working up the detail
Looking at how to make the overhang
Now there’s the solution
Sorted out the overhang and we are ready to go …
Finally installed over the gate it needs to guard.
Close up
Looking at the artist
I moved and couldn’t part with him, so he came with me and now guards a garden path until …. I find a proper place for him
