Steve Dilworth lives and works on the remote Isle of Harris on the West Coast of Scotland and is renowned for using a vast range of natural materials, mostly found on the island. Dilworth often encases the natural objects he has found within his sculptures. The solid remains of animals and birds, beautiful in their own right, impart an energy and life to his sculpture. Even when completely enclosed, like the heart in a living body or the engine in a static vehicle, they empower the sculpture in both conceptual and symbolic ways.
