Each individual work is unique, others in the series are made in the same way but by the variation in the nature of the found wood each will be different. Using timber cut ready for the log fire works very well for the body of lobsters and yabbies.
Generally legs, claws and tail are from twigs or any other found objects of interest.
For this one I painted using many layers of glaze in an effort to depict the surface of a salt lake.

Sculptor Bio
Peter Griffen
My sculpture is at most times painted and my paintings often include sculptural elements. I enjoy using found objects to create my sculpture, be it theatrical animals or whatever comes to mind during the construction process.
