    Regalia (Cockatoo) by Jamie Lord – £2,250

    Red tailed black cockatoo

     

    Mixed media and archival paper on wooden perch

    H:70cm x W:20cm x L:20cm 

    ‘Regalia’ explores ceremony, presence, and performance through the Red-tailed Black Cockatoo’s extraordinary crest. Raised like a ceremonial headdress, the bird occupies a moment of poised authority. The composition draws on operatic theatre, where stillness can be as commanding as movement, and where form, posture and silhouette convey power without spectacle.
    The piece is sculpted by hand in clay, which is then moulded and cast, creating the underlying form. Over this, each feather is individually hand-cut and painted from archival paper, and layered, allowing for a texture and delicacy that cannot be achieved through casting alone.
    This sculpture captures the bird’s territorial confidence and regal flair, chest proudly lifted, shoulders set, and her magnificent, feathered crown fanned like a stage-worthy headpiece, commanding attention with theatrical poise.

  • Running Wild (Pheasant) by Jamie Lord – £4,250

    Mixed media and archival paper on oak base

    30cm H x 20cm W x 80cm L 

    ‘Running Wild’ captures a moment of instinct and urgency, drawn from the familiar sight of pheasants navigating the British landscape, a species long embedded in rural life and culture. Show low to the ground and mid-stride, the bird reacts to a presence sensed rather than seen, holding a moment of tension and awareness.
    The sculpture is first sculpted by hand, before being moulded and cast to create the underlying form. Each feather is then individually hand-cut from archival paper, painted, and
    carefully layered onto the surface. This labour-intensive process allows the plumage to retain both delicacy and structure, blurring the boundary between sculpture and drawing.
    By freezing this instant in time, Running Wild invites the viewer to look beyond familiarity and consider the instinctive decisions that shape life in the countryside, where tradition, wildlife, and survival exist side by side.

  • Solstice (Barn Owl) by Jamie Lord – £1,950

    Solstice (Barn Owl) by Jamie Lord – £1,950

    Mixed media and archival paper on log or post plinth.

    36cm H x 13cm W x 35cm D

    Barn owls are among the UK’s most iconic and beloved birds of prey, instantly recognisable by their pale white plumage, golden speckling, and soft, heart-shaped face. Often glimpsed gliding along country lanes or perched silently in crumbling farm buildings, they carry an air of quiet elegance and mystery.
    Entirely nocturnal, barn owls possess specially adapted wing feathers that allow them to fly without a sound, making them near-invisible hunters of the night. Their ghostly presence and silent movement have captured imaginations for centuries.
    In Celtic and Druidic traditions, barn owls were revered as Guardians of the Underworld, seers, and oracles able to pass between the worlds of the living and the dead. In various African and Native American cultures, they were viewed as omens of death, yet also admired for their solitary grace and supernatural beauty.
    Titled Solstice, this sculpture reflects the delicate balance between light and dark, evoking the barn owl’s spectral flight through twilight skies. A fitting piece for both contemporary and rustic spaces, it brings a natural, ethereal essence to any setting.

  • Heron by Mike Thompson – £2,500

    Heron by Mike Thompson – £2,500

    Lifesize

    Recycled vintage tools

    I love to create life-size sculptures of British wildlife & birds, using reclaimed tools, capturing their movement in metal.

    ​

    Once I select the most appropriate piece from my ever growing collection of these wonderful old tools, I shape and weld them together to produce an anatomically accurate form, creating movement, whilst ensuring that each tool remains recognisable and intact.

    ​

    ​I always try to showcase the tool’s origins – highlighting any cast maker’s marks or place of manufacture, as well as using their bolts, nuts and handles, incorporating as much of the original tool as possible.

    ​

     Each completed sculpture is moved outside to allow the elements to encourage a rust patina that is then sealed and finished with a natural and pigmented wax, highlighting the tools original features, whilst preserving its character.
