In addition to the use Uglow made of drawing, he would also on occasion use sculpture to explore form in the round. On two occasions these sculptures were cast in bronze in small editions: The Egyptian Spear Thrower and a sculpture of a woman tripping. Their function appears to have been similar to that of Degas' sculptures, which, with few exceptions, were a tool for the artist and were not originally intended for casting or exhibition. As such the feel of Uglow's sculpture approaches that of his drawing rather than his painting. They are intimate, economic, expressive and unrefined in their exploration of composition and geometry.
