Corten steel and mild steel £7,000

Jacek once worked as a Marine Biologist so understands sea creatures. He says: "Their external surfaces are held together and shaped by complex internal structures; both form a visible part of the finished work".

'My sculptures are predominantly made in steel and range from large-scale outdoor pieces to smaller, intimate works - a play between the small and the large scale work. They embody movement and anticipation, and often a sense of unfording or unwrapping.'

'Many of my sculptures are intended to be installed in a natural or soft non-industrial environment - on grass or old flagstones, amongst trees or with a background of weathered brickwork; where surface patinas will gradually develop with age. Each work is designed and intended to interact with, and age uniquely within, its environment.'
