CLARE TUPMAN, British, Large sculpture of a crocodile, 250cm L. Notes: Clare Tupman, mother of 4, attended the Ruskin school of Fine Art in Oxford. Clare is a ranged artist who has worked with many forms of media though sculpting has always been her greatest passion. Originally Clare casted her statues from bronze, though she quickly felt constrained by the size and cost of the bronze casting process and looked for other paths to forge her creations. Clare learned to weld and has developed her own style of sculpting. She creates huge steel frameworks then cuts and welds small metal shards from sheets of stainless steel, binding them to form the contours and muscle structures of animals and figures. The final results are huge, beautiful structures of shimmering steel that seem to have a life of their own.
