Greenfinch 3m wingspan. Mounted on 3m RSJ base. Commissioned by the Kuwait Industrial Union as a permanent sculpture for Al Shaheed Park in Kuwait.
I visited Kewait twice during this commission. The first time I went over there I worked with a film crew who documented my journey and experience of finding the inspiration for this sculpture. I was treated to some fantastic experiences, such as seeing the city from an offshore boat trip, going to the industrial steel works to see the huge ark furnace and steel processes, visiting vast apocalyptic scrap yards in the dessert that went on for miles, as well as a trip the night market and immersing myself in the local culture.
This piece was made from forged steel, laser cut cityscapes, retired tools, car clutches, motorbike sprockets and chain. Galvanised for outdoor permanence and situated on H girders.
