Fi Hunter is a UK based sculptor, and you can find her busy working from her studio an old corner shop in Marlow where she creates larger than life heads for both interiors and exteriors.
Her work explores the fragility and strength of the human condition not just through the human expression but also through the materials them self. Sculpting them first in clay she then makes moulds before casting them in bronze as well as experimenting with new and unusual materials such as recycled glass, stone & iron dust, hessian and dried foliage collected from the banks of the Thames. She also loves to try new and unusual materials such as skelton leaves and recycled glass.
Her sculptures can be seen at several galleries across the country as well as as featuring at the London Art Fair, the Affordable and Fresh Art fairs and this years Henley Festival.
