Earth Heads
Mud from worm casts is the raw material used to create these small scale heads which portray the weathered faces of old Breton women wearing traditional headdresses.
Sea Space
Delicate tellin shells of subtle hues have been pushed into the dark folds of a sea rusted oil filter to create this 80cm high sculpture.
