Mediums Used
Simon Mahoney`s work is beautifully sculpted, he`s a perfectionist. From his experience as a commercial sculptor, he now loves to play with scale and his work entertains adults and children alike as he tends to leave parts of the sculpture as movable. Simon`s work is effective in any scale and surrounding, the powerful heads have a wonderful presence and they are like the portrait in the hall that follows you with it`s stare. Simon has worked on public art pieces also. His work contains a gentle sense of fun, which is very much him.
