Jack is a sculptor from Manchester, England  and now lives in New Zealand.

He attended Gordonstoun International School where he studied Sculpture, then spent a lot of time traveling until he ended up in New Zealand. He now lives in Whanganui where he has  a large warehouse studio.

 He has  been working with driftwood since he arrived in New Zealand in 2008 and creates large scale animals. The sculptures are made with New Zealand native hardwood driftwood. Some of the driftwood may be as old as the Taupo eruption. They are constructed using galvanized tech roofing screws. 

When the sculptures are over a certain size where the weight cannot be safely supported by its legs, a galvanized steel frame is used. How long the sculptures will last is uncertain but if oiled with the Forestwood deck oil every year and the screws are tightened as required. Jack  thinks they will outlast the screws. The screws have a rough life of between 25-50 years depending on the conditions.

Jack is currently working on commissions.
