“I have just finished working on a bronze pedigree bull and I am currently working on a commission for a Brown Swiss steer." "With my work, I like to ask, what can be read into the various images of cattle. You may see the peacefulness of a sleeping cow or the sacred nature of the ancient Zebu breed. You may think of livestock farming and the contrast between developing nations and that of our own. The beauty of form and material is uppermost but what lies beneath?” Commissions accepted.

Diana Pattenden was inspired to sculpt
bronze cows by her
first studio space, a cowshed, set in the rural surrounds of Hamstead Marshall, near Newbury, England. The eternal serenity of the cow and
the variety of form, mean that although the studio has moved, the cow
theme remains.
