20,000 blue plastic bags used to create The Lotus Land sculpture

The making of a Modern Fossil; jesmonite poured into brass shim moulds
I did some experiments creating the shapes that would be attached at each junction of the metal framework of my work for the 7 Bridges public Art project, ‘Modern Fossil‘. By pouring jesmonite into test...
Creative basketry summer show at City Lit
I went to this show by accident, and am so glad I did. Far from being all wicker baskets and corn dollies, it had some really interesting forms made from all kinds of materials...
The making of a Modern Fossil; fun with metalwork at London Sculpture Workshop
I spent a few days over the summer at the London Sculpture Workshop. College was closed, I had a deadline to meet and no access to heavy machinery…. LSW was the answer; London’s first open access...

Laura Buckley’s walk-in kaleidescope

Adaptive Architecture
Reactive (to light, touch, movement..) canopies created by students at the AA D_lab workshop, shown at the Kinetica Art Fair 2012
plaster and rubber casts of garlic bulbs
Plaster casts of garlic bulb and cloves. Also cast them in (hot) rubber which made for weird aromas as the Vinamold is already vanilla- or almond-scented and the garlic started to cook with the...
Sculpture: 2D to 3D and back again
Or, any excuse to get the glue gun & spraypaints out :). Was interested in taking something flat, constructing with it, and reverting it back to flat again. Very much process based. (I am...
