I read “The Wind in the Willows” over 10 years ago, and yet it was only in the last couple of years that I started to move it into sculpture.

Making sculpture is a journey of discovery, as was Mole's move to the riverbank. On Mole's journey, he introduces us to a host of characters, including Mr. Toad.

My preoccupation has always been with Mole, who is an unassuming character, yet the narrative thread of “The Wind in the Willows.” He was the first sculpture completed.
