A Curiosity of Cats

Focus on Cats

Cats are wonderful creatures with many sides to their character and varieties of shape and colour. My cat sculptures are also varied in character, style and form so here is my collection:

Rook

Rook

I finally have the perfect mount for my rook sculpture; a piece of marine timber hauled from the River Medway estuary near Chatham Historic Dockyard in Kent. It has been cut to expose rich earthy colours, and wonderful texture. I love the way it has been carved by burrowing sea creatures. From being in the salty water so long it is rock hard.

The rook is sculpted in black and white clays with a touch of glaze giving a glossy sheen. He is sitting comfortably with a full crop and watchful eyes. The clay is stoneware so can be kept inside or out.

The whole sculpture is just over 50cm tall.
