Combining the two

Although it was essential to experiment with different techniques and methods -enabling me to move on to the next stage, I was aware that the works were starting to get a 'craft' feel about them, and were moving further away from my original concepts.

Seeing 'Wave' and 'Discarded landscape' in a gallery setting, I became fascinated with the soft flow of the plastic when it was caught by a draught of air. The shreds of plastic reminded me of feathers, so I began to think about works that tied in with the theme of flight.

I produced several drawings and small works, before attempting a pair of 7ft wings. ( one of which is shown  below) Then moving further on, to copy the wings onto canvas, and thus completing the circle back to 'Fine Art'
