A sculptor who built a seven-metre high Welsh dragon artwork in honour of the King’s coronation and used over 2,000kg of marine grade, reclaimed stainless steel to reinforce a tree that died in 1933 which his dragon sits atop is showcasing his work at the Chelsea Flower Show – he believes it to be the largest driftwood sculpture ever displayed at the event.
Originally from Devonshire, James Doran-Webb, 55, who now lives in Cebu, Philippines, with his wife, Yeohoon, 48, a retired businesswoman, and their daughter, Diana, 12, says he has an affinity for giving “cast-offs” a second life and that a lot of his artwork is created from recycled materials.
