Based near Corfe Castle in Dorset, Ted Edley draws upon his historic automotive background to create detailed sculpture, using steel, copper, brass, aluminium and unusual found objects.

Growing up in nearby Swanage, he is greatly inspired by the Isle of Purbeck and especially the sea, both above and below the waves. The mystery of the darkness beneath surface and a profound fascination with the industrial have led to the creation of some truly dramatic sea creatures with an almost mythical feel.

Edley is also a regular on Quest TVs 'Salvage Hunters, the Restorers' team.
