Yorkshire Sculpture Park - work in progress

I've been holed up in the Craft bunker for a good few weeks and that Yorkshire Sculpture Park deadline is fast approaching. I've been making new work for my jewellery showcase at YSP and the ball is well and truly rolling on my site specific projects.

This is what my desk looks like at the moment..

There's nothing like a heart pumping deadline to focus ones efforts.
