Faces from the Studio Floor
All the faces came from scraps of leftover wood that I'd swept up off the floor and kept. I didn't make any of the shapes purposefully and once I'd started to make the construction, I didn't allow mayself to make anything for it. I did use a few beads in the eyes which was a bit of a cheat, but they would have otherwise been binned.

What Lies Beneath
Dowel and off cuts.
Size: about 60 x 60 cm
Weight: 5 kg
I cut off the surface of the dowel using an electric cutter and was left with a wonderful pattern on the dowel below and decided to keep that. The central part is turned on a wood lathe. Originally I intended to have a central column but the hollow works better. There is an in/out, negative/positive feel to this piece.
