Today was the Day it all came together, it’s years of struggle and effort depicted on the landscape of the body. This is a man who needed his body to carry him, so as his body begins to relax so does he with an expression of joy and relief that no one was meant to see.

Mark Bowman: “I’m fascinated by the effects of erosion and this piece is part of a body of work which investigates and develops the subject. For me, in that it is a subtractive process, the act of carving is very similar to erosion.
The inspiration for this particular piece came from a visit to Bamburgh and Holy Island on the north east coast of Northumberland where strong coastal winds, laden with rain, salt and sand, have caused heavy erosion of the sandstone buildings over many centuries.
Carved from local Northumbrian sandstone, “Erosion #3” attempts to capture the striking effects of nature’s work.”

This piece is part of a body of work which experiments with the idea of taking an organic form and stretching and developing its shape to morph into something else.
Forms which feel like they could be a natural extension of one another, vertebrae growing leaf or fungi for example or twisted ivy trunks growing human limbs, all “grow” as the stone is carved and smoothed.
In this piece, a spinal form has been “pulled” to incorporate geometric curves suggestive of ribs. The striking grain running through the local Northumbrian sandstone, adds an additional organic dimension and softens the sharp geometric lines.

Jonty Hurwitz: Yifat, my inspiring life partner and I, have been creating artwork together for a decade now. This work is inspired by our life together, the journey we have taken and the place we find ourselves now. Meditating together. Meditating about who we are, Meditating about what and who we want to be. Meditating over where we want to take our artistic practise both spiritually and practically.

Jonty Hurwitz: Growing up in South Africa, I developed a deep and lasting love of frogs. My most vivid childhood memory is of a long day spent out by a small waterhole on a hot day interacting with frogs. They really and truly were gentle and friendly souls. I even discovered that they enjoy a gentle caress along the spine – I never tried kissing one though, but I suppose I can claim to have experienced some level of intimacy with a frog.
As the years went by and adulthood took over, I somehow buried my frog feelings. It was when I produced the first frog sculpture that I came to understand my feelings. It was the small things – literally down to the extent to which I found I knew frog physiology on an intuitive level.
So it began. Eight years and 20 or so frog sculptures later, I feel like I’m just starting this relationship.
So here I present my latest frog portrait. I’ve called this work “Long day in Pretoria with Frog”.

Ed Hill:
“For the last 7 years birds have been my primary focus of study. I only like to sculpt wild animals, because there is something to be discovered about them and share with others. Birds are the only wild animal I encounter on a daily basis. As someone who spent hours making ‘stop-frame’ animation videos growing up, movement fascinates me. When sculpting I have a hunger to understand how they move. For example, the legs are particularly interesting to me, because if done correctly they bring life and agency. If not, it can look awkward or dead. That is why I study countless photos and videos to make sure I’m understanding them right. Images of skeletons can be particularly useful to this end.
Another reason I love birds so much is because they occupy another realm to our own. They do things other worldly to us. Their behaviour is so dynamic and entertaining to watch, as they fly, perch on vertical surfaces and balance on the thinnest of stems. They offer endless possibilities.
I am currently working my way through a series of iconic birds, ones that are instantly recognisable to us that we can all know and love. One I have chosen to focus on this year is the long-tailed tit. Like a ‘caricature artist’ I really want to identify the main features. As I don’t work in colour the shape is really important to me and there are lots of fun details I can capture in the long-tailed tit. Being a sociable bird, I have begun to explore different ways I can group them. That is why I have created the ‘roosting’ scene.”
“These sculptures are made from ‘recycled stainless steel’ that adds another layer of curiosity to enjoy. “I prefer stainless because it’s lovely and shiny. It is very eye-catching and radiates light on a dark dull day, or it can bring light to a dark or otherwise uninteresting part of a garden.”
The cutlery is collected from local charity shops and each piece is handmade in Edward’s workshop in Devon. “I like sculpting because it brings joy to life, I can just look for ages at a well-made sculpture. I am both awed by the beauty of the animals form that is depicted or I am held by the way the materials have been cleverly articulated. It brings people together over something we can all appreciate.”

This bronze edition of a turning horse head reflects my love of neo classicism and the wonderful ageless beauty of the Parthenon frieze. By finishing this sculpture in a stone patina, it is reminiscent of fifth century history and gives it a great sense of nobility and longevity.

Bronze with a stone patina 41 x 36 x 13cm Edition of 9
Taking inspiration from a thoroughbred horse that I ride; the title of this piece reflects his “look at me”; demeanour. I hope to have captured his soulful and thought-provoking gaze. The grey dappled patina is achieved by brushing on various salts and oxides onto the bronze surface under heat.
