In the middle of January, the contents of the 17th-century country house, Aynhoe Park, were offered by Dreweatts in a three-day auction. Included in the sale was one of my sculptures, Cheetah Head, with a guide price of £2-3,000. It was great to hear that the final sale price reached £13,000!
Covid 19 continues to impact the way I work, as it does for everyone. I’ve had to embrace technology more than ever before. We’ve made several videos showcasing new sculptures. There’s a good collection now on my YouTube channel, along with a few more general clips explaining how I sculpt. I’ve just done one on the process of making the armatures that support my plasticine or clay models. The video shows you how I form them out of aluminium and the tools I use.
