Biography

Gavin has always traded under the name frailloop. He believes everything is interconnected and, like a chain, failure of the weakest link - the frail loop - will bring the planet down. No one can save the world on their own, but everyone can do a bit help. Repair, reuse and recycle. Gavins studio is a recycled pig sty, powered by solar electricity. Within his work he uses scrap as much as possible, with additional help from old tools and broken bits of expensive cars or agricultural machinery.

inspiration

Gavin is inspired by the shape of found materials, nature and a sense of fun. Steel is a very strong and versatile material. New it can be bright and shiny, however over time it weathers, rusts and forms it's own patina. Not every piece is humorous, but there will be some to make you smile.

medium

Gavin creates sculpture from scrap metal, old tools, parts of railings and broken bits of exotic racing cars. Using irregular artists tools of an industry welder, angle grinder and a selection of hammers he forms a range of pieces from a tiny key fob to a full size motorcycle. Most pieces are designed to be carried home by the customer.
