Olivia Ferrier generally makes original pieces in clay and then cast into bronze using lost wax casting methods, she also cast found objects into wax and then models the waxes into a form, ready to cast into bronze.
The human figure plays a central part in my making, I spend a lot of time observing and drawing movement, posture, strength, spirit and individuality.
