Berni's old site

There's lots of historic images and films on Berni's old website - click above to take a look (opens in a new window)

Welcome!....please feel free to have a look at the sculptures that I create.

They are mainly constructed from scrap metal collected from scrapyards, garages, farms and bike shops; friends drop stuff at my workshop door, so my garden gets quite busy with scrap metal, ready to be welded into surreal creatures or more abstract creations; many of them are designed to sway in the breeze outside; others are more suited to indoors

​

The sculptures reflect the life around this area of North Norfolk; the countryside and farming, the sea and beaches and the industry and economic activity here such as fishing, agriculture and forestry, railways, automotive services and offshore gas production.

​

The work also is inspired by the deep and ancient history of the area, from the Industrial and Agricultural Revolutions to the Reformation and medieval events such as the Peasant's Revolt and the Great Fire.

​

I am fascinated by insects and birds and how they move; that interest is reflected in many of my more unworldly creatures which use discarded tools and other commonly used and familiar items, hopefully changing their perception in the eyes of the viewer!

Welcome to my Open Studios...it's my 19th year!

I'm delighted to be part of this year's festival of art run by our artist cooperative, North Norfolk Studios, with over 170 artists throwing Open the doors to their studios, workshops and gardens.

Inspiration and Techniques

Berni draws inspiration from the local environment, incorporating elements of the countryside, farming, industry, and coastal life into his work. He collects scrap metal from various sources, including scrapyards, garages, farms, and bike shops, and transforms these discarded materials into unique sculptures. His process involves welding, shaping, and assembling the metal pieces to create dynamic forms that often sway in the breeze or respond to indoor environments.

Berni's sculptures transform reclaimed metal into breathtaking pieces that resonate with nature. Each creation tells a story, sparking intrigue and wonder in every observer.
