In optics, a dichroic material is either one which causes visible light to be split up into distinct beams of different wavelengths (colours) (not to be confused with dispersion), or one in which light rays having different polarizations are absorbed by different amounts.

This deceptively simple sculpture asks us to focus for a moment and appreciate a beautiful aspect of nature that is hidden from our view – the air.
The ‘Flags’ are made from a special light-refracting polyester film. As the wind changes direction,
they appear to go through gradual colour changes, and display a brilliant blue, magenta, yellow or green – especially vibrant in sunlight.
The polyester material of the flags is amazingly durable as it reflects virtually all UV light so protecting them from degradation. The pivot assemblies are made from stainless steel and other all-weather materials – all mounted on a solid stainless steel rod with its own spiral ground anchor.
Flags each 160cm high.
Price for the group of ten: £2450. Individual Flags £265.

Andrew Lee: “The telltales used in this sculpture are the lightest and most sensitive possible while still retaining the necessary durability. To enhance the delicacy and natural movement of the telltales I have set them inside the strength and geometric solidity of a stainless steel frame.”

Andrew Lee: “The largest of my free-standing sculptures, Wind Cloud divides space into a three-dimensional grid where at each point there are telltales free to align with the wind direction. The telltales are all identical so the wind acts uniformly on them, thereby helping to reveal a clear depiction of the wind’s movement. Support structure is kept to a minimum not only to allow the wind unencumbered access but also to focus the viewer’s attention on the beauty of the wind rather than the appearance of the object. Unique”

‘Release’ was a piece conceived over the national lockdown period, it has a delicate ethereal presence in the landscape and uses the iconic Dandelion Seed as a symbol of rebirth, growth and freedom. Natures will to survive is a recurring theme in my work and it is my hope that this piece encapsulates a sense of optimism and hope for the future. I am continually inspired by natural forms and never more so with this sculpture. I had to mimic the weighting of the Dandelion seed in order to make this piece move; the exact balance between the weight of my pappus, its wind resistance and its counterbalanced seed pod had to be found.
What appeared at first to be a straightforward task has taken months to achieve. Indeed if it were not for the lockdown allowing a greatly extended period of experimentation, I may well have conceded that it was an impossible task. To add to this mix of physics, balance and design is the aesthetics of the sculpture which had to constantly evolve in reaction to the very fine parameters I was working within. I did wondered at first why I had not come across a kinetic moving Dandelion seed before and months later I think I know why. Each element is balanced to within a fraction of a gram so that the seeds appear to float as if taken by the breeze, they are so finely balanced that the weight of rain drops significantly alters the balance, just as in nature. If the pappus is too large it is too heavy and would require a huge counterweight, if the pappus is too small there is not enough wind resistance to overcome the inertia in the bearings. The counterweight is filled with lead, allowing me to weight this to a single gram. The sculpture has had to evolve and has been fine tuned to overcome all obstacles, something which nature has done with design perfection, a design blueprint which is locked away in its DNA.
When the wind blows there are innumerable patterns created by the multiple articulated bearing points, it is a piece that reveals itself slowly allowing space for contemplation. I feel it is sculpture that is full of joy and all the more so for the difficulty of its creation.
