Giant Dragons Made Out Of Driftwood By James Doran-Webb
A wyvern is a four-limbed dragon with
the first pair of legs extending into wings. That’s a distinction that
driftwood artist James Doran-Webb likes to make when presenting his
sculptures. The first wyvern he made required an expansion of the studio
and a huge metal frame. It’s a huge wooden creature that’s perched on a
trunk of a long-dead tree.Another driftwood wyvern stands on a
gazebo made from reclaimed steel and upcycled water bottles. It made an
appearance in the prestigious Chelsea Flower Show 2015. The piece is
called Wyvern’s Folly and weighs 4 tons!James Doran Webb is based in the
Philippines. He works with many local initiatives aimed at preserving
the environment and replanting trees. Webb buys his sculpture material
from local gatherers, aiding their villages. Aside from wyverns, Webb
has also made many other (and smaller) sculptures of galloping horses,
goats and other animals.The Wyvern in the Baobabs- Explanation plus films
