“Using Corten steel my idea was to create giant monolithic columns towering into the sky. Then cutting out spherical seed heads into the steel allowing the dandelion puff balls to be blown away in the breeze.” – Ian Gill

This colony of ‘barnacles’, pressed and fused from polished stainless steel, appears at first as solid as a pebble on the beach but on close inspection present a perforated or ‘porous’ structure. The material using the pressing techniques developed by the artist to take advantage of this beautiful, but highly resistant recycled material.
Associations are often made between highly polished hard metal and qualities of strength, cleanliness, beauty, perfection and therefore high value and status. Here the artist invests those qualities upon a lone, stranded, erratic boulder scale heart shaped seed. The seed; vital genetic dispersal vessel, prime actor in evolution and natural selection, is critical to our own presence on Earth. Essential, not just for our own reproduction but also in the regeneration of all the living branches of our ecosystem upon which we are dependant is often un-regarded and certainly does not hold as high a status and value as the polished metals we mine, refine, polish and wear as a badge of success. This sculpture is a champion for those trillions of smaller unseen life forms, magnified and suited in clothes that may help us to associate the vessel with its value.

The Portal Orb is a surreal mix of fact and fantasy.
This sphere of organically styled wires might be made of thick steel bars but appears lightweight or buoyant due to the much larger open space it encloses. The network reminds us of living pathways in cells, veins, leaves, river deltas and more.
The fact that your eye and even your hand can pass through the surface of the sculpture is a reminder of the porous nature of all things. Things that we often prefer to consider contained, tough, private or ‘protected’; such as cell walls, shell, skin, stone, the mind, foliage, and atmospheres.
The tapering tunnel creates movement, literally provoking the viewer to orbit the sphere and seek the view through the centre. We want to see the other side; but we already know what is there. Such a simple form with such a curious portal effect.

Penny works with various materials, particularly recycled steel bits and pieces. They have their own beauty as exceptionally well made mechanical elements, that once formed a part of a structure that created its own momentum and dynamic. She likes to recycle and repurpose those discarded metal elements and give them a new life and renewed energy in her figurative Blown Away series of sculptures.
These sculptures capture a moment in time, a thought or emotion clearly defined and expressed, inanimate, discarded items becoming whole again in a sculpture that is visually explosive and passionate.
The Kiss wishes to show the electric energy and anticipation we have when getting close to someone special for the first time. Despite the uncomproising hard materials used there is a tenderness and familiarity to its features and an engaging delicacy as their hands touch and gazes meet.
Each sculpture is handmade by Penny and each edition is entirely unique due to the different pieces used in each one.

“This is Humph. Humph isn’t happy… He sees a world where unelected officials are allowed to rampage through parliament, vandalising our greatest institutions, our economy and our liberties. He sees a world where profit is placed above all else, to the detriment of 99% of the population, their environment, and the other living beings they share it with. A world where only the most voracious of psychopaths gain and hold power : a world where selfishness and greed are celebrated and encouraged. But it isn’t this that depresses him most – it is the fact that for a supposedly evolved species, we steadfastly refuse to modify our behaviour and have wilfully carried on repeating the same mistakes over and over and over again for several thousand years, all the time eagerly swallowing the lie that we’ve never had it so good. Is that not the very definition of madness? Humph is mightily discombobulated by this, and I have to say, I agree with him.” – Misti Leitz

“Apart from greetings, A Hug can convey so much feeling about how you care for someone. I was recently at a funeral and there were so many people giving and receiving A Hug, silently saying I feel your pain and I care about you. If a child has hurt themselves, A Hug can quite often be enough to calm them so that you can both see what now needs doing of a practical nature. The celebratory Hug, say on the sports field, when someone has achieved something and is needing to share their elation. I didn’t discover Hugging until I had grown up and what it can transmit between humans as a totally silent experience.” – Richard Cresswell

“I consider roe deer to be one of my signature subjects. They are a great size to sculpt and a great size to have in the garden. I’m a keen deer stalker and have spent many happy hours observing roe deer in our countryside. We have several roe deer close to home which allow me surprisingly close when walking the dog. I usually take a camera with me to gather research material.” – Hamish MacKie

This sculpture is also available as a scaled down version in bronze (numbered edition of 25) or silver (numbered edition of 6).
The octopus is an enigmatic, complex creature and highly adaptable. It can regrow lost arms and change its colour to match its surroundings. People have been fascinated by the octopus for millennia. The ancient Greeks decorated coffins, pottery and ritual ornaments with octopus motifs.
Octopus are known for being extremely intelligent. Scientific studies have proved they are capable of sophisticated learning and problem solving skills. There are many stories about how octopus have fused lights in their tanks, squirted water at individual researchers, and unscrewed lids of containers! Two thirds of their five hundred million neurons are in their arms, which means they can not only touch but also taste and smell with their tentacles.
Hamish has sculpted an explorative octopus inquisitively reaching out to touch. Of course under water, octopus appear almost weightless. It’s this freedom of movement, and having no joints, that Hamish wanted to capture in this characterful sculpture. Each of the over 600 suckers has been individually handmade. From the plasticine original, a high resolution scan was taken to produce a intricately detailed scaled down version cast into both silver and bronze.
