Nick Day - bronze 1999

Nick Day is an eminent doctor at The Adenbrokes Hospital in Cambridge. When deciding on a pose for a portrait, I find it really useful to spend some time talking to the family. Nick's family told me that he was always reading, with his head on one side. This is how he posed for me.

Kings Shield - cold cast bronze 1996

This commission for Kings School Rochester, is based on the schools own shield. I have incorporated different facets of the schools achievements within the four quarters of the shield; music, sport, academia and the cathedral. An enthusiastic student stands in their mist, pulling the themes together.

"The overwhelming challenge for me personally is to capture a sense of movement within any medium. I try to create a powerful physical image which in turn evokes emotion within the piece and, hopefully, the viewer." Sam Holland

"There are so many threads to draw together to achieve a final goal - my creativity is irrelevant if it cannot be translated into the practical. It's also vital to work closely with the client so that I can interpret their vision too," Sam said.
