Diarmuid Byron O'Connor Born in 1964 in Ayelsbury moved to South London in '69. I split my time between London and Ireland where my 3 daughters now live. Although I'm known for creating the Grt Ormond St "Peter Pan and Tinker Bell". My Personal work is contemporary figurative. My inspiration is the human figure and how it works as a universal language. I draw from life but sculpt from memory. Whilst each piece has its own unique drama they draw upon our common understanding and experience of our own bodies. I sculpt in wax at this scale with my bare hands and a few simple tools harnessing a handmade sensibility. However I imagine each piece ultimately being larger.
Exhibitions "Peter Pan" & "Tinker Bell" are both miniature versions of the statues for Great Ormond Street Hospital. |
