Photo by John-Paul Brown <br/><br/><br/>I have recently been gifted some pieces of steel by Yorkshire Sculpture Park which originally came from Sir Anthony Caro’s London studio when he passed away in 2013. <br/><br/>I am now beginning to make multiple strands of work in response to these pieces of steel by formally exploring the it through drawing, casting, printing, creating digital 3D models and any other suitable process other than making abstract steel sculpture with it. <br/><br/>With this approach I hope to respect the material’s former life and explore its potential through different mediums. Now that it has been removed from the context of Caro’s studio, I want to see what else it is capable of. <br/><br/>This page will function as a repository for works made using this material. It will be added to over time.
