Martin Norman - Statement

Martin has years of experience moulding and casting sculptures by a wide variety of artists. He found working with artists such as Anthony Gormly, Anish Kapoor and Sophie Ryder truly inspirational.

His years of living and working in the south have given him a firm grounding and schooled in a different approach to 3D work after being involved in Chelsea Flower Show and Hampton Court Flower Show his respect and admiration grew for 3D work inspired by nature and in its natural habitat.

It was a succinct progression therefore when moving to the Holm Valley to set up a business, to sculpt his own work inspired mostly by animal forms as well as continuing to mould and cast for artists from far and wide.

Martin is especially drawn to form and functional sculptured pieces and they are influenced by his design background.

He works mostly for gardens sometimes using water and harbours ambitions of creating large pieces using wind and water to create kinetic pieces.
