I recently dug up a piece of barbed wire on my land where there is thousands of years of agricultural history. This inspired me to create a piece that would honour that history and the people who'd been farming the land for many generations. So created the sculpture by bending and weaving the up cycled barbed wire into the form of a circle, essentially a crown. I was drawn to the difficulty and challenge of working with such an aggressive material. It is a strong wire made with two separate strands of wire twisted together with spiralled sharp elements added to them. This meant I had to work with heavy duty gloves and use brute strength to bend, weave and shape the wire into a crown. 'The Crown of Barbs' is an acknowledgment to the noble pursuit of farming and an understanding of the strength required and the dangers associated of such an important and significant vocation, for it is from these noble skilled individuals we get our sustenance.
