Sculptures, installations, paintings

A treasure trove of sculptures made of found materials, and found shapes. An old radio, a bread-cutting-board, a sledge, a stool - are incorporated into new objects. Toilet items like shaving blades are cast in bronze, so is a complex of cup-and-saucer. And paintings are made onto a stool seat or other bases. Here is a game of forms, a playfulness of titles, and the joy of appreciating any kind of form and the ability to turn it into something totally different.
