Galleries: Models & Drawings
Behind each completed sculpture is often a wealth of half-formed ideas, sketches, maquettes, models in clay, wax or plaster. This can be where the real work is done, resolving the form, trying out ideas or finding new possibilities. This is an area largely unseen as it is the finished piece which gets all the attention.
