Murmuration

1.7 h x 1.2 x 1.2

I have been mesmerised by starlings as they collect together in the evenings just at dusk creating their beautiful shapes in the sky. They  try to stay together for safety as a predator finds it much more difficult to attack a Murmuration than a single bird. At the slightest breeze the ‘murms’ wander around following tiny air currents then as the winds increase become more regimented all changing direction in unison like a flock of starlings. the tree or bush form was the obvious shape for the piece right from the first day and each has its own style and character as I create a new piece. 
I always make a few ‘murms’ touch so that they ‘talk’ to each other as the wind moves them adding a further element to the piece.
I have made larger versions for clients but the Bush proves to be a perfect shape and size for a garden setting.

Parasol

2.1m x 1.2m x 1.2m

As the title suggests this sculpture is inspired by those Edwardian ladies strolling through parks and gardens with incredibly long-handled parasols with their delicate lace fringes, twirling them as they chat to friends and lovers.
After perfecting the parasol to look beautiful and delicate, able to move in the lightest of airs, I hit upon the form of a surreal delicate tree to support them.
Further research and I find that they were originally Chinese or Japanese the jury is still debating which, but it seems they were originally green paper and slowly developed an important part of their culture later becoming red. For this reason I gave the stem a black finish with a mist of red over it.

Quill

£2950 

3.1 h x 0.6 x 0.05

Quill is a piece which came out of my experiments to create a kinetic sculpture which makes the invisible wind and air currents visible, by being independently pivoted each vane can follow the tiny differences in strength and direction of a breeze as it passes by touching the metal and creating beautiful curves and ripples in the shape.
