Down To Earth<\/p>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"

Down to Earth. Thomas: “This sculpture looks a little like a carriage. It has a book shelf at the back, an old leather suitcase on top and various fragments of houses, furniture and household technology in its construction. It is called Down to Earth because although it stands on a fake marbled plinth, it still has one foot on the ground.\u201d<\/p><\/div>\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>
\"\"

Down To Earth under construction in the studio… Thomas: “This was a complicated piece but also one I was very pleased with. Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to take some better pictures before it was delivered to its new owner.”<\/p><\/div>\n
