I've been developing my own way of processing recycled aluminium using open sand casting and freehand techniques since 2003, in Pembrokeshire, where I finally have an amazing studio and workshop overlooking the unique industrial landscape of Pembroke Dock.
This year I've been invited to show my work at the Wexford Opera Festival 2017! It's a one-off opportunity to show my work to a new market, I'm thrilled and delighted to get across the water again after my 2005 "Kisses Across the Sea" collaboration between South East Ireland and Pembrokeshire, in which 2,000 under 18s recorded their kiss-casts and vox-pops of their life ambitions. The project also resulted in two public sculptures, one located in Wexford and the other in Goodwick.
I need your help to realise my life ambition. It's time for me to make this passion for sculpting and recycling into a sustainable lifestyle. I've got the shoes and I'm learning the opera, but I'm asking for help with passage, bed, board and marketing to make this opportunity a springboard for my sustainable art to make me a sustainable income.
The Opera Festival runs from October 19th to November 5th 2017! The clock's ticking!!
The budget I am targeting is £5,000. The primary costs are my transport, sculpture shipping, accomodation and subsistence - that's more than half the budget, and without it I'm going nowhere for October 19th!
The rest of the money raised will go into website and marketing to sustain my future sales and pay for studio rent, energy costs and materials (and food for handsome Harry my three-legged dog). I'll also be starting a patreon subscription so look out for me there if you'd like to give me long-term sponsorship in my creative career.
Please look at my great rewards and help me realise this dream!!
