High-Definition Wire Sculpture
My name is Roger Russell, I am an artist. I am also an engineer, welder/fabricator, and a dreamer 😊. Combining these skills enables me to create very precise wire and steel sculptures. Fairies, insects, animals and other mystical beings. I am limited only by my imagination. I have many sculpture projects on the go at any one time, both large and small, and many more in my head and sketch book.
Perfection is the name of my game. My company name is High-Definition Wire Sculpture, started about 10 years ago after I was made redundant.
Surrounded by forests, machines and tools
I was born in 1960, the son of a farmer in southern County of Hampshire, England. Surrounded by forests, machines and tools.
I’ve always been creative, making things with my hands and with tools since I was a child. I also like taking things apart, for that you also need tools. We had a very large workshop on the farm with every tool, plus welders, grinders, gas torches, and no health and safety!
Our farm was surrounded by meadows and woodland, so I’ve always been close to nature. I was fascinated by the dragonflies on our pond. Even today as I walk my dog in the spring sunshine past the same pond, the stream edge is a swamp and the fallen rotting trees create a quite magical place. In the early morning mist, it still feels like the sort of place where fairies may exist?
