Comments (0) I am pleased with how the Ridger Bird sculpture has been positioned beside the water.
This metal sculpture is created from farm implements; the tail is an old potato fork, the wings are skimmer points from a plough and the head is a ridger for earthing up potatoes.
The Ridger is a mythical bird that, as legend would have it, hunted mercilessly for the potato.

Body Sculpture - Sculpture created from reclaimed metal
Body sculpture viewed in artist's garden
Detail shows the title on the weight
This metal sculpture is created from reclaimed found objects. The legs and feet are cut from an old plough, the hips and pelvis are parts from a old van and a tow bar. The base is a an old iron weight, from a weight lifting set, salvaged from knee deep mud and took a lot of cleaning to get through years of rust. It was fun welding as I had to heat the iron first then butter weld with specialist arc rods before I could attach the foot and leg.
The weight is has the words ‘Body Sculpture’ as part of the casting which I used for the title of the sculpture. constructed from found objects. This was one of the very first metal sculptures I constructed.
