One line drawings - 2009-10

This way of drawing has helped me a great deal when it comes to the construction of wire sculptures. I also find the fact that you don't have time to think about your next move (as one drawing takes about 5sec to make) underlines the notion of freedom in the drawings, and my work in general.

Untitled - 2010

Steel wire, steel sheet, plastic, fluorescent light.

A piece made for a group exhibition in London's Finborough road brasserie. The theme of the exhibition was "sense", and I chose to focus on what i believe is the sense I can relate to my work, the sense of feeling, hence the hand...

Grandpa - 2009 (In progress)

4 mm wire, 3mm steel sheet. Spot and arc welded. Strong Calder inspired piece. I was more spontaneous and playful with the steel on this one, and it turned out like this.
