Pieces of new sculpture for sale. These pieces are all available for delivery now.

Wye Valley From Hole In The Wall

A sculpture based on the view down the River Wye from Hole In The Wall, I cycle this way most days and always pause to take in the view. I have used steel strip to define the important features of the landscape and plasma cut silhouettes for the trees and their reflections. The sculpture measures 1.8m in diameter and would also work well mounted on a wall as a shadow caster.
 
This sculpture is for sale at £1500.00

This is a area of work I am keen to develop and would be happy working from landscape paintings or photographs. See also my page on garden screens.

Garden Trellis

Giant leaf trellis to support climbers, also works as a sculpture in it's own right. This versionis based on a Beech leaf, I can make other leaves on request. This one measures 2.5m tall, they can be scaled up or down on request.

 
Beech Leaf Trellis for sale at £450.00

Really The Blues.

A sculpture based on tenor Saxophonist Milton 'Mezz' Mezrow.

Hung out and played with Louis Armstrong and company. Read his Biography 'Really the Blues' the funniest music biography I have ever read. Stands 1.8m tall made in oxidised mild steel.

 

Really The Blues is for sale at £950.0

 

Radiolarian Garden Arch

Inspired by the lines of Radiolarian plankton. Made in mild steel rusted and lacquered. 2.5m tall, wide enough for two people to walk through. Dismantles for shipping via concealed bolts.

 

A great garden arch and ideal for plants to climb over For sale at £750.00. Can easily be scaled up for larger spaces.

 Edo Era Crow screen.

A large piece of sculpture based on a celebrated set of screens from the Edo Era in Japan, when the Shogun's were handing power back to the Emperor. The screen is a lampoon on the courtiers at the time with each crow representing a specific courtier. Note how there are the fighters, squabblers, hangers on, hystericals, typical of crowd behaviour, and of course the couldn't care less guys on the periphery. The artist cleverly stayed anonymous. The screen is cut by hand using a plasma cutter from a single sheet of steel measuring 2.4x1.25m, and stands 1.2m above the floor. It dismantles for transport. Cost £2000.00. The screen can also be modified for installation on a wall as a Shadow Caster.

 

Another picture taken in Decembers frosty spell. A strange effect. Worth zooming on.

 

A recent piece, a 2m tall sculpture of a Dolphin in rusted lacquered mild steel.

 

 A detail image of the tail fin.

 

The Dolphin is sold but I am able to make others, and scale it up or down, at this size, 2m tall it would be £1500.

Chinese Money plant,

So named after the shape and fecundity of the seed heads, a sign of good luck if the windblown seeds take root in your garden

The seed body is made of a mild steel ball and the seeds them selves are made of 1 penny coins. Each seed head is around 70cm in diameter.

 The bars and balls will rust while the coins will retain their natural colour. I have been in touch with The Royal Mint regards making these and there is no danger of a visit to The Tower of London

Here is another image of a single seed head against the sky

The Chinese Money plant heads are £180.00 each, and the stems come off for transport. Mouting is best done at home, a simple log with holes drilled it does the job perfectly, I can provide this service if needed.

Another frosty shot

 

 The next thing with these is to make them able to spin in the wind and perhaps make latrger versions

Seahorse sculpture

Completed January 2010

A sculpture of a seahorse in mild steel, measuring 2.5m (8ft) tall, mounted on a smal stable base that can be concreted or bolted to the ground. I picture it in a final setting with small grasses or flowers concealing the base.

Photographed with typical Herefordshire blue skies.

Here we have a detail shot of the Seahorse's head. In these photos the rusting process has only just started. The Seahorse sculpture is for sale at £2500.00

Meditation

A sculpture of a woman doing yoga, measuring 70cm tall. She has been allowed to go rusty, if wanted I can polish ad lacquer her for a shinier finish. She is priced at £300, I can make other yoga style poses if desired, contact me to discuss your needs.

Red Kite.

A life sized sculpture of a Redkite, probably Britain's most glamorous bird with a wingspan of 2m, a good centre point for a open garden, can also be wall mounted. The bird can be removed from the stand for transportation purposes. At this size the Redkite os for sale at £650.00, I can make these smaller or larger, prices on application. I can also make other birds in this style.

I was recently asked to make a Giants Key for a theme park, everybody liked it so much I had to make another one. Made in mild steel with a rusted finish it is 2.6m (8ft) long. Who knows what secrets it might unlock. If wanted I could make a wall mounted lock surround to go with it. For sale at £500. A striking addition to a garden or space.

Completed in June, a new sculpture in the 'Microworld' series, a model inspired by a Radiolarian, another single celled plant. This would make a great Garden Obelisk on it it's own, or as a frame for climbers to grow over. It has been compared to many things including The Gherkin Building, a spaceship and a pagoda. It is a striking piece of modern garden sculpture built in a hexagon shape standing 2.8m (9ft) tall. Another piece that I would like to make a larger scale version of. Priced at £1500.0. This would make a great centre piece for an open garden with climbers trailing over it.

 This is an interesting piece of sculpture as it changes in appearance when it is viewed from different angles.

Finally a view from nside the radiolarian.




'Pure Lightning.. A sculpture based on one of the best classic accoustic Blues musicians, Lightnin' Hopkins, he had the Blues and a sense of humour, highly reccomended. Seen here wearing his trademark battered Panama hat playing the guitar in his unique percussive style. He is just waiting to be rusted to help him settle in to an open air environment, looking at the clouds it wont be long. He is sold but I make replicas for £1250.00.

I can make these sculptures in stainless steel to maintain the shiny finish, please contact me if you are interested in this idea. 

 

A picture of Lightnin after a bout of snow, doing this to this type of sculpture is a great way of getting to engage with sculpture, giving a visible result and making it a fun business.

 

Adderbolt II, based on a Dragonfly, the name is the Old English name for a Dragonfly. This measures 1.6m wide by 1.2m long (5ft x 4ft). he is only just finished, photographed mounted on the wall of my workshop and on the floor. he is presently mounted via a pair of hooks, these would be replaced by concealed secure moutings, I can also supply a stand to give an impression of flight. This sculpture is made of rusted mild steel for the body with wings in non rusting stainless steel, a very striking look. Priced at £850.00

 

The second photo shows Adderbolt perched on a surface, a more likely mount, you can also see how he is balance to leave the front half of the body clearof the surface, which would allow him to project over the side of a pond.

The next garden sculpture is a model of a Sun Fish, a fish found in the West Atlantic, in reality these are around 25cm long and are bright red in colour. This version measures 2.5m long by 1.6m tall, and is for sale at £1250.00.

 

Sculpture of  Saddle Diatom, these are some of the single celled plants called phytoplankton that are in effect the lungs of out planet. This is a strange piece of sculpture, see from the series of images below how it changes shape from different angles. This is the first piece in a series of planned works exploring the microscopic world. This piece of sculpture has been rusted, polished and lacquered to give a hardwearing finish to live out of doors. It is mounted on a simple stand.

 

 

The Diatom sculpture is for sale at £1850.00 If neccessary I could change the mounting

 

Here we have a sculpture of Farmer Palmer saying ''Git orrff moi laaand'' made out of motorcycle chain and old tools, he stands about 4ft tall and is for sale at £180.00. He is sold but I can make similar pieces  Note to the Biker community I am happy to make sculptures out of materials supplied by you guys, contact me for details, I know how attached we get to old bits of our bikes. I can see these making great custom show/rally prizes or even memorials.

 

 

The next sculpture is titled "I Am Become Death The Destroyer of Worlds" A model of Lord Vishnu in his four armed form.

This was inspired by me seeing the chilling film of Edward Oppenheimer describing his reaction to 'Trinity' the first atom bomb explosion at Los Alamos see atached Utube video clip.                           http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=n8H7Jibx-c0 scary stuff.

He stands 1m tall and is made in overwelded mild steel, currently uncoated. He is for sale at £2500.00

His hand positions are based on the traditional Hindu 'Durba's in which the arrangement of the fingers makes a statement. More information to follow. Note the fine detail in the fingers.

He is standing on three balls supporting a half ball, representing worlds upon worlds. As well as being a stable base.
