Creatures such as faeries, sprites and nymphs are intrinsically tied to our physical world and are very real spiritual beings. They reside within a plane made of lighter matter that sits just outside our ordinary perception.
These sculptures are a glimpse into this mysterious, elusive, spiritual and magical world I have dipped into since a child. Each creature has its own name, element, personality and purpose.
