Small Bronze Sculptures Gallery
So, if I want to cut a sculpture up and reassemble the parts it only takes a moment. In the clay the really tiny sculptures are very fragile and fiddly, but once cast these miniature bronzes become robust. Making these small bronze sculptures gives me an opportunity to live with a new theme and get reactions from other people before possibly going on to enlarge them. In this way they can be like maquettes – small-scale studies made in preparation for a larger work. At home I love having these small bronze sculptures on the mantelpiece, as they can then occupy a special place in the room where everyone can see them close up.
L: 12, W: 17 cm Price: see price list Here, I am once again trying to work as small as I feasibly can. This is a hand-held sculpture, almost like a paperweight. This one feels like the start of a new series.
H: 23 cm Price: see price list A very contemplative sculpture, about quietness and resolution. The patination complements the mood of the piece with a stony natural feel. Small enough to sit on a desk or fit into a narrow space.
H: 21.5 cm Price: see price list A collector asked the other day if this was a pregnant sculpture. I said no, none of mine are, but I can see that there is quite a sweet little tummy there, perhaps a small pregnancy? Anyway, she bought it to remind her of her last pregnancy...
L: 11, H: 10, W: 6 cm Price: see price list This has the intimate quality I tried to capture in the larger, original mother and child. I made this one really small, to keep the bronze casting costs down as much as I can. One client bought one of these for each of her three daughters! This tiny piece is now only available silver-plated. Click to see a larger image of Tiny Mother and Child. Click here to go to top of Small Bronze Sculptures.
