The sword has a wide, curved, single-edged blade with a double groove. It features nine “teeth” at the back, each one provided with an iron ring. The typical, circular quillon is made of brass with relieved border and floral engravings. The grip has fabric binding and a wide ring at the edge.

"Scar tissue" from the "perforate" series.

I’m currently studying sculpture and combined media.This piece is a sculpture but through the media of photography.

My work explores repetition, duration and obsession through mark making. I examine repetition through techniques such as perforation, drawing and cutting. The shapes which take form have no intended pattern, they are random and unintentional, this highlights the meditation effect creating these pieces can have.
