Crocodile sculpture crafted from found wood Abigail has gathered on her wanderings.

Most pieces of wood used to create this sculpture were collected in the UK along the Devonshire coastline in early 2024.

Each piece of wood has been selected for it’s unique qualities of shape, texture or markings, carrying with it a feeling of the animal it is destined to become.
The starting place for these pieces isn’t the idea to create a specific animal, but a careful assessing of the wood collection and as pieces are selected to work with, the animal characters begin to reveal themselves.

Abigail works mostly with a range of hand tools in her London studio to create each piece.

The surface of the Crocodile has been carved, burnt, drawn on, and in patches brushed with green emulsion paint and lightly spray painted. Each keel along it's spine has been cut, carved, sanded and burnt with a blow torch to desired effect. It's claws have been crafted from rusty wire. Each tooth has been individually carved, sanded and glued into place.

Created for display only, it is a fragile piece to be handled with care. It is not a toy.

Each 'Wood Sculpture' is an original, unique artwork - you will receive the piece shown.
