Hayley Jones
I am a self-taught artist who transitioned from a painter to wire-sculptor. I use a variety of single strand wires, including copper, steel and aluminium to construct intricate animal and bird forms and then mount them on to all sorts of interesting found objects such as old gates and posts, old garden tools and other reclaimed wood which I source while exploring the local countryside.
Sometimes these objects can be the spark of an idea for a specific piece, other times, the bird or animal is the starting point.
My wire sculptures have proved very popular and invitations to exhibit at prestigious events have led to my work being sold both nationally and internationally.
