‘outsider’ artist’s sculptures.
To be held at Helston Museum Gallery. 22nd June

Natural History, Taxidermy, witchcraft & pagan folklore, as well as
figurative sculptures influenced by Greek/Roman mythology & history.
“Housebound on
disability benefits for 10yrs means a lot of time, but few resources to teach
oneself to sculpt” – The Kuriologist
