Began by working with material - having decided to scale sculpture up after visiting steel works I selected to use steel tube rather than bar which I can get in 6 metre lengths.
I ordered 6 x 6m steel tube lengths and had them delivered to the workshop. I have located a pipe bending machine that I am going to use to manipulate the steel into organic shapes.

This is a great machine that enables me to adjust the curve and move/rotate the steel as it is guided through to produce the shapes I wanted.
