Concepts My sculptures are made from scrap metal using relics of the horse-drawn days of agriculture alongside discarded modern machinery. Some of the parts have been hand-made by blacksmith and used to farm the land until they are worn out. In Strathdon I am surrounded by life, people, plants, animals and birds, all living within the cycle of the changing seasons. This combination of material and subject becomes my sculpture, breathing new life into old metal. Influences Ancient cultures/myths, Nature, Emotions, Scottish, own gender (Female) Career path I studied sculpture at art school, graduating in 1977. Since then I have always been doing something creative, mostly sculpture. I make my living entirely from my art, with a mixture of public commission, private commissions and working for exhibitions at home and further afield. It is a way of life requiring much hard work, taking of chances and thinking ahead. It is very rewarding. Artist's Website http://www.helendenerley.co.uk
