  • Barnacle Pebble Seed by Matthew Sanderson £14,670

    Barnacle Pebble Seed by Matthew Sanderson £14,670

     90cm x 180cm x 160cm

    Stainless steel

    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 Orb by Matthew Sanderson £13,335

    The Orb by Matthew Sanderson £13,335

    200cm diameter

    Mild steel and zinc

    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.

  • Kismet by Penny Hardy £4,750

    Kismet by Penny Hardy £4,750

    Edition of 9

    Recycled mild steel

    65 cm h x 60 cm d x 80 cm w

    Oak plinth included 80 cm h x 25 cm square

    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.

    Kismet wish 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 their 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.

  • Good Vibrations 2 by Hamish Holman £2.600

    Good Vibrations 2 by Hamish Holman £2.600

    Kilkenny Limestone

    25cm x 25cm x 25cm

    “The ‘Good vibrations’ series are sculptures that come from a place of the unknown. I have always been drawn to complex forms and the process of not understanding how a particular stone sculpture is made. I set myself the challenge of trying to overcome this non-understanding and slowly the form of good vibrations appeared.
    The sculptures are carved from a cube, with three interconnecting sides making up the six sides. The form appears fluid and geometric, with the sculpture changing form as it is walked around and viewed from different angles. Positioned on an axis to allow the viewer to see how the light shines through the stone, creating an everchanging appearance. Looking through stone has always excited me as the core is rarely seen in a sculpture, and this has become a theme in my work. Light plays a part in highlighting the delicacy and strength of the stone, converging dynamic abstract profiles, with simple shapes and contours.    ” – Hamish Holman
