Elephants Adam Bannister.png


 

Times are tough for the ancient mothers of the savannah. Poaching, climate change, habitat loss, human confrontation and development and have all made the future of elephant generations more precarious. These are however the tusked symbols of wisdom, patience and resilience. As long as we make space for them, the next generation will be there. 

END OF IVORY

The destiny of the elephant is entirely in one person's hands: the president of China

Remembering Wild Dogs

Unique Bronze (5 separate pieces)

 

As a sculptor working with both metal and wood, I try to understand and convey the power and connection that these materials possess. I aim to create forms that transcend the literal and embrace the abstract, whilst also incorporating the beauty of the recognizable. My sculptures are designed to challenge our perceptions of the "solid" realm, calling forth a sense of wonder and contemplation that resonates with us on a deeper level.
