Creeping into the Garden of Worthing Museum and Art Gallery are strange metal mythical creatures and monsters made by Sussex based artist Serena Thirkell. The title of this unique exhibition is ‘The Garden of Forgotten Engineers, Smiths and Bicycles.’ They are made from broken agricultural machinery, old garden tools and even dentist equipment. You will see in this video a rusty Belling heater becomes a large yellow bee and an old potato plough is transformed into a huge mantis. Serena saved these bits of metal from the scrap heap. The exhibition is a tribute to the unsung engineers and blacksmiths of Sussex. Part of a scrapbook series showing exhibitions at Worthing Museum and Art Gallery on the south coast of the UK. Made by one of the exhibition curators Hamish MacGillivray.

Sculpture has been a gift to me and I love to share it with everyone. You can view my metal sculpture gallery at www.toddsmykrealty.com/sculpture I like to include colored glass in many of my pieces.
Here is the latest creation to come out of BB Forge she is a mild steel garden dragon. It took a couple of months to build then she was put out to weather for a month which gives it an all over coat of light rust which cleans off all the rolling mill gunk then she was brought back into the shop for a total body scrub whith mechanical wire brushes after which she got 4 heavy coats of laquer because she was always meant to live outside in someones garden.I actually intended to give her to my wife for a birthday present but one of my old customers snapped her up imediately as soon as he saw it. But no fear another one is part way made and it looks like being much bigger and about to launch itself from a branch of a steel tree I’m quite looking forward to it myself, if you like what you see check us out at www.barnsdalebobforge.co.uk
Tar Tar the Harmless Dragon is a kinetic sculpture. He’s made completely from recycled metal. “Kinetic” means energy in motion. He will move up and down for up to 10 minutes before stopping and if he’s placed outside he will constantly move gently in the wind. He came to be from the motorcycle springs and solid metal “feet” that were donated. I knew that the “feet” were heavy enough to hold a lot of leveraged weight easily. His body is made from some sort of steel ball float and his mouth is an old pair of metal calipers that were used with the pulley wheels on farm equipment to keep rocks and other debris from getting stuck between the pulley belts.

www.centralarizonabikers.com Sculpture is three-dimensional artwork created by shaping or combining hard materials – typically stone – or marble, metal, glass, or wood. Softer (“plastic”) materials can also be used, such as clay, textiles, plastics, polymers and softer metals. The term has been extended to works including sound, text and light. Found objects may be presented as sculptures. Materials may be worked by removal such as carving; or they may be assembled such as by welding , hardened such as by firing, or molded or cast. Surface decoration such as paint may be applied.[1] Sculpture has been described as one of the plastic arts because it can involve the use of materials that can be moulded or modulated. Sculpture is an important form of public art. A collection of sculpture in a garden setting may be referred to as a sculpture garden. The materials used in sculpture are diverse, changing throughout history. Sculptors have generally sought to produce works of art that are as permanent as possible, working in durable and frequently expensive materials such as bronze Bronze figure of Robert Burns by Henry Bain Smith, 1892, above Union Terrace Gardens, Aberdeen, Scotland and stone marble, limestone, porphyry, and granite. More rarely, precious materials such as gold, silver, jade, and ivory were used for chryselephantine works. More common and less expensive materials were used for sculpture for wider consumption, including glass, hardwoods (such as oak, box …
