This large outdoor piece, cast in resin has an organic abstract form and is coated in satin white. It swirls and twists as it emerges from its base. “In sculpture I work in maquette forms, small scale models in clay or metal that are then scaled proportionally using state-of-the art technology. I then rely on a team to realize the fabrication of large-scale works in resin, fiberglass, bronze, or steel.” Tim Forbes In the 1970’s he attended the Nova Scotia School of Art and Design (NSCAD). Moving to Toronto in 1978 he launched an award-winning design company and worked with an astounding range of clients including the government, Canada’s leading law firms, the performing arts and the film and television industry.
