follow your nose
I was invited by Dr. Geoffrey Farrer- Brown to contribute to an exhibition by selected artists exploring the power of a dog's nose, and its use in medical detection. Above is the first of 3 wax maquettes looking at how a dog's movement and pose support this action of following a scent.
The Medical Detection Dogs charity, which this touring exhibition project will support, used a similar image as its logo.
A third maquette - I like the curve of his back and tail, and the very active turn up of head and paw.
One of these 3 will be developed further into a life size bronze sculpture, to greet people when they enter the exhibition. Which one will it be?

Sculptures in the magical setting of Dipley Mill Gardens - 20 & 21 July 2013
My last of three solo shows in beautiful gardens this spring/summer was the most magical. It really was a wonderful collaboration with Rose McMonigall who has lovingly shaped and developed these gardens. I hope the pictures speak for themselves.

More images of the event at dean manor gardens
My Body (said the swan), appropriately by the pool,
Ganzebord Gans (ganzebord is a Dutch boardgame, where players become geese, living the life of a goose with all the good and mis-fortune this entails, such as falling in love and falling in a well)
Mother Hubbard's Dog (up to his tricks again)
Hare after Ts'ui Po (the latter inspired the pose in a painting)
and Big Ears ( everybody's favorite)
Finally "sentry".
Sculptures at Dean Manor Gardens
I had the good fortune to exhibit in the beautiful gardens of Dean Manor, nr. Chipping Norton this last weekend. This stork is I think my favorite image; garden and sculpture coming together in a most extraordinary way .
"Scrabble" was at the entrance, inviting visitors into the gardens....
Daun Russell (above), and the Raven pair (below) making the most of high vantage points...
While "Roll-up" (above) and Owl of Few Words (below)
found their ideal spaces in the more formal parts of the garden,
the wilder areas were perfect for the hares, falcons, mole and "Wader".
