I adore sighthounds…. Their sleek lines, grace and elegance are a sculptor’s dream and for many years have held a firm place in the Art World.
I began sculpting dogs with paper around four years ago and have now developed a sophisticated technique using wire and layers of fine paper from recycled books. Each piece is individually made to order and develops a unique personality as the finishing touches of the expressive eyes and fine ears are added. At the end of the process, due to the use of the text, the piece is almost stone-like in texture. Each piece is then finished with two layers of sealant wash to preserve it for many years to come.
