Description
Original Aircraft Sculpture - Created in Bronze
2nd in the series of the Herringkel in the Aerogenic series of sculptures, this piece is a melange between machine and organism, aeroplane and fish ( a Heinkel He III and a Herring ?).
Showing what remains of its propulsion system and control surfaces
and its structure exposed, this hints at what may once have been, perhaps this was discovered on a sandy shore, the corroded remains of a once great species, a machine grown or a totem from a long lost Cargo Cult or those who destroyed the biology to try to replace with technology ?

Artist
Fascinated by aircraft, animals and plants from an early age, Adam trained as a Sculptor between 1987 and 1991 before going straight into work as a sculptor and model maker for the Film and TV industry at Shepperton and Pinewood Studios.
He progressed from here to working with Exhibition and Aerospace companies, creating one off pieces that other trades could not make due to their complex curves and diverse materials.
Inspired by aerodynamic, organic and animal forms, his work as an artist has always been a mixture of biology and mechanisation. Adam’s love of aerodynamic forms fuels his concepts; fusing mechanised structures with organic forms to create his pieces. Working from his studio near Bristol, using industrial metal construction and fabrication techniques, as well as traditional casting methods in bronze and steel, Adam sculpts, models and carves a broad selection of materials to create the Aerorganic forms that reflect the world we live in today, now mixed with half remembered ancient organic forms and dreams of another possible future. Adam works in several disciplines at once, carving in wax for casting in bronze or steel before stopping to view the progression of pieces and then moving to direct construction in steel, copper and iron.
