work in production



"cat & mice 2"a copy of one of my most popular early carvings
its similar to the first piece, but it'l never be identical

This piece is based on my recent award winning piece, "Dance"

this time I used a much bigger block
this gives me a lot more scope, 3 dimensionally

and my experience of going to Pilates
