Wire and Recycled Metal Animal Sculptures

British artist Barbara Franc creates wonderful animal sculptures out of wire and recycled metal scraps. A selection of her sculptures are available at Union Gallery in Edinburgh.

I have always been fascinated by the shapes and sculptural forms of animals, they present a never-ending source of inspiration to me. I try to capture a feeling of their movement and presence in my sculpture. For this I use wire and other materials in a way that suggests drawing in three dimensions. This allows me greater freedom to add changes whenever I want during the construction to keep the feeling fluid and to reflect the diversity of movement and form.
