"My art is storytelling with rust!
Sheep shears make up
about eighty percent of my work,
it's my trademark.
I cable tie or wire my works together
so it's forever changing,
it keeps my growing fan base curious.
I see my art as window dressing.
My subject matter is
life, love, yin yang,dark and light."

'Helmet and Sword'
1st October 2016: As Franco Girardi began to mount his solo show at the Serpentine, fellow artist Dougal Binns
dropped in to give a helping hand, discuss their individual approaches to art, and plan a combined opening celebration.
Constructed in situ: Over the next few days Franco Girardi's exhibition comes together beautifully.
