To create the sculptures, the artist uses stainless steel wire between 1.6mm and 5mm diameter. He says it is thin enough to be manipulated by hand or with pliers and thick enough to be welded with a welder.

“To get control over the shape I use the same basic method as normal clay modelling; model the visible silhouette as accurately as possible and then rotate the piece a bit and repeat,” says the artist.

Martin says building the sculptures is surprisingly easy but it can take ‘absolutely ages’.

The artist creates both figurative and abstract sculptures and all of them look simply stunning.
