Motorised None of these sculptures are for sale, because of the risk of you sticking your fingers inside them and getting electrocuted (even though that's impossible in normal use. You'd have to try incredibly hard to get access to the electrical connections . . . but I'm sure somebody out there is dumb enough to do so, and then Batcow Artworks would sink in the Sea of Litigation)

Environmental None of these sculptures are for sale, because some were for a specific purpose and others were transitory (although Skull Tower evidently made the journey back from Scotland, it appearing as a component part of Nest) (all measurements approximate)

The creation of Stanhenge (1993) Seven stones taken from a riverbed at Brock Bottom and set in a cement base	Stanhenge (1993) – 22, 28, 28 Now weather-worn after years in the garden. (pStan Batcow has never danced naked at solstices around this circle of standing stones, neither has he sacrificed chickens nor deflowered virgins) not for sale	7 Star Sticks (1993 Ireland) – 130, 130, 3 Seven sticks woven together, leaning against one of Finn McCool's Fingers
(view one)	(view two)
Nest (1996) – 140, 110, 110 Honeysuckle prunings and tall dead plant matter		Skull Tower (1995 Scotland) – 140, 40, 40 Sticks and an animal skull

Bridge (1997) – 120, 130, 40 Prunings from a damson tree	Treehouse (2008) – about seven feet tall For Isabella's tenth birthday, pStan Batcow helped her build a treehouse in her garden with three of her friends and Jane, her mum. The wood that was used was reclaimed from an extreme pruning session at a different location (during which pStan Batcow cracked a bone in his hand, meaning that he worked on this treehouse with his arm in a plaster cast). In 2009 Isabella - wearing a stripy top in these photos - noticed that some of the branches had started sprouting new leaves, despite being underneath the tent fabric covering!

Devil / Angel (2009) – about six feet tall pStan Batcow helped Sue and her family clear out their wildly overgrown back garden in 2008. During the process, many old and very rusty pieces of metal were discovered in the undergrowth or buried in the soil, and Sue asked if a sculpture could be made out of them. Liking the idea of replacing what was once so much trash back into its original location but in a completely reborn state, pStan Batcow created this sculpture with a pickaxe for a head and a garden fork for a tail. It has now been concreted into position at the bottom of Sue's garden, as a watchful guardian.
