Made in the same phase as ‘Below The Sunlit Waters’ and 'Are We Sitting Comfortably?', these sculptures were made by ‘inflating’ the forms. I started with flat sheet and used a car tyre inflator and a lot of heat. ‘Don’t Try This at Home’ was unsettling to inflate, with a real worry of it rupturing violently. It was the first sculpture made in my new studio in Chetnole, Dorset, now owned by a dear friend in West London.
