Paul’s winning piece called ‘Harmonious Remnant’ was created from stained and charred English ash and stands 435mm tall. e inspiration for this sculpture comes from following the natural ow of the wood grain to guide the shaping process then contrasting it with a much harder more modern material. Paul, previously a local industrial photographer, is now concentrating on mixed media sculptures mainly made from local wood (reclaimed or virgin) with ceramics or metal to produce unique abstract interior artefacts. Paul’s work also successfully sells through Palais des Vaches in Exbury. Paul’s winning sculpture design ‘Harmonious Remnant’ Totton and Eling Bowls Club to Celebrate 25th Anniversary!
