METALWORK, SCULPTURE AND ART - Derek uses a variety of materials from
scrap to iron to bronze. Much of Derek's work is suitable for both indoors
and outdoors, as his work typically is weathered and finished to protect it
indefinitely.

UNIQUE PIECES OR ART - Every piece that Derek produces is unique and
it will always be that way. Derek believes that Every item should be
completely unique, "I will never do the same piece twice, it wouldn't be fair otherwise". Each piece is
signed and numbered in multiple locations throughout each piece, these locations
are recorded by Derek to allow unique identification.
