From the Sculptor Himself...
Edge Sculpture has evolved and developed significantly for well over 15 years from its humble beginnings in my garden shed in damp old England. However, I would need to go back over 25 years when initially in my head I had the concept for a range of bold and primeval pieces, that although having a soul and presence, had very much a primitive and natural finish to them.
My first piece was actually a Bull Terrier Head, a subject which I was very familiar with from the collectibles scene as Creative Director of which was then Robert Harrop Designs Ltd. This enabled me to best demonstrate this new style of work to an existing audience with the firm belief that nothing proves the validity of an idea better than to actually physically sculpt one and most certainly the best way to gauge opinion.
Another huge factor was that I wanted to create a style of work that could actually be put into production that not only retained all of the integrity of a Fine Art Statement Piece, yet also deliver it to the customer at more affordable 'everyman and everywomen' prices.
