Driftwood Dragons And Beast Sculptures By James Doran-Webb

ADVERTISEMENT

James Doran-Webb, the incredibly talented driftwood sculptor whom we wrote about previously, has expanded his work from majestic horses to terrifying driftwood dragons that seem prepared to terrorize the village folk in the surrounding countryside.

Doran-Webb has created two epic dragon sculpture. The first, perched on a dead tree, is called ‘The Wyvern in the Baobabs’ (a wyvern is a type of dragon with two legs and two wings). The other, ‘Wyvern’s Folly,’ is perched on a gazebo made from reclaimed steel and recycled water bottles.

Doran-Webb works in the Philippines, creating amazing, powerful sculptures of creatures like these dragons using found driftwood and steel frames to make sure that they can support their own weight. Read his interview with Bored Panda and check out his website!

    There is a beast with heart of cold stone that dashes like lightning, shreds flesh from bone. // Bewitched by this beast, I fell to my knees. My mouth babbled madness and mumbled soft pleas. // I stared down the ravenous, gnashing dark maw of a cute cuddly kitten with yarn in its paw

    I love the way the sculptor gives an 'after life' to material that is essentially dead. Amazing.

    The armature is high grade stainless steel and the wood is generations dead and very oily. I bolt the large pieces onto the armature and weld the bolt heads so the pieces of wood are indelibly attached. These pieces will last for generations!
