"The series represents the capture of a single moment in time"
The Series
The Driven Game Series has been carefully developed to represent the capture of a single moment in time. Each piece represents a peg, as if numbered from right to left at the start of the first drive of the day. Each peg tells a story about the shooter and the position they find themselves in.
The sculptures may be purchased individually or as a full series. Peg No.3 "The Dance" and Peg No.4 "Teamwork" are now ready, with the remaining sculptures in production and ready for pre-order.
