She fell in love immediately with the medium and can totally loose herself in the process of creating a sculpture.. Her pieces are made using traditional hand tools, which give her a direct physical contact with the stone.\u003cbr\u003eShe particularly loves making Abstract \"Shadow Dance\" pieces with Ripples carved into them inspired by the ripples in the sand. These capture the play of light as the sun moves across the piece, bringing you back to look at the sculpture as the light changes. She also enjoys carving animals, particularly Owls and Hares.\u003cbr\u003eHer larger outdoor Limestone sculptures will be dotted around the garden and smaller Soapstone pieces will be on show indoors. Kim will be working on some larger pieces due to go to Avebury during MOS. She will be more than happy to give you a demonstration when you visit.\u003cbr\u003eJoined once again by Arty Pumpkin whose Mixed Media work will be on show indoors and delighted to welcome Charlotte Snipe who is also showing her work indoors this year.
