Inspiration:
This Aerodynamic Inspired Sculpture is inspired by the iconic Porsche 917. The beautiful curves of the 917 are captured in this sculpture, where the ‘long tail’ in German is called ‘Langheck’. This work imagines the airflow from the top of the body, twisting in the wake of the car at speed.

Worldwide motoring magazine, Octane, commissioned me to produce their ‘Editor’s Choice Award’ trophy for The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering in California this August.
‘Superleggera’ – Steam twisted wood & engineered aluminium sculpture
The brief was for something stylish, elegant & different to anything before it. My love of wood & flowing aerodynamic forms was perfectly matched to produce a sculptural work of art, mounted on an engineered aluminium base, CNC milled from a solid of aircraft grade lightweight aluminium.
