I've worked with clay for a number of years and sought to capture the differences and complexities of the human face. I aimed to portray facial expression through movement and in turn used the expressions and movements of those around me as inspiration to help create this. I used photography to record areas of the face and body to further influence the creation of Ôfury' and to gain a detailed perspective of such facial details as wrinkles, veins and skin pores. Fury represents the ferocity of human expression.
