Drawing  Clay work from life gives much of the impetus for discovering the shapes and forms which emerge in sculpture - for Edgar, frequently replacing the role of drawing used by other artists as a precursor to sculpture. Sketch books, doodles and works on paper exist; they continue to support the body of sculpture but are not necessarily promoted. 

Wood engraving     Exploration with woodblock prints and wood engraving has been a pre-occupation which has intrigued many sculptors such as Leon Underwood, Eric Gill and Henri Matisse. The first small boxwood blocks were carved in 2008 without preconceived thought, impressions being taken as the work developed. The blocks themselves become interesting objects; imagery on both sides. 

Two-dimensional works offers an inexpensive route to collecting and are often a direct link to emerging new sculpture.
