Statuary & figurative sculpture

Magdalen gateway

Throughout 2025 I took part in the effort to fully restore this Victorian-era gateway for Oxford University. I made a new pedestal base for the statuette of Mary Magdalen, and carved a number of stone replacements for the Bishop and King statuettes, featured below.

Here I made my left hand out of Carrara Marble. This was a personal project. I didn’t use a stationary model or any power tools in its creation, in order to purposefully add difficulty to the project. This was my first time working marble and my first figurative piece.
