The incredibly lifelike pieces are each made of just under 100 feet of the unusual material and take Ivan Lovatt more than a month to painstakingly twist and pin into shape. To date, the 46-year-old has built up quite a collection of famous faces - from musicians to entertainers and explorers. One sculpture, of musician Bob Dylan, is modelled in such exquisite detail you can almost see every hair on his head. Another is the spitting image of Dame Edna Everage and shows the larger-than-life entertainer in her trademark whacky glasses. Even genius Albert Einstein and American president Abraham Lincoln are part of the extraordinary collection. Mr Lovatt, who lives in the Gold Coast Hinterland, Australia, with his wife, April, and son, James, said his art was time consuming but satisfying. He explained: "Sculptors are always looking for new media and novel ways to use what is available. "I had used chicken wire many times to give structure to other types of sculpture. "I then started using the wire to sculpt wildlife and as my skills developed I was drawn to the challenge of portrait sculpture. "With creative thinking and some trial and error I have developed a range of techniques which allow me a good deal of expression and versatility. "It's very time consuming, but very satisfying." According to Mr Lovatt, the 'average' sculpture is one and half times larger than life size but they can measure up to an impressive 14 feet. And the largest of his pieces can be made of up to a staggering 820 feet of chicken wire. Mr Lovatt said he preferred modelling people who had a great deal of character in their faces as w...
