    Sycamore by David Watkinson – £7,800

    A scaled down version of ‘Kinetic Seed Sculpture’, ‘Sycamore Seed Sculpture’ has all the dynamic movement of my larger piece but on a scale to suite a smaller garden. Sycamore Seed Sculpture is now in it’s Second Edition, the new edition has a larger more detailed Wing.
    Second Edition of 25.

    • Size (Approx): 1.7m x 2.2m
    • Materials: Weathering steel or galvanised, mordent finished Steel, cold cast bronze, stainless steel bearings
    • Type: Kinetic

    INSPIRATION

    This work is a twofold homage to nature; the seed form and the wind. In the natural world, the two work in perfect harmony, the seed having evolved over millions of years into a finely tuned wing.

    This harmony is present throughout nature, it is harmony that we humans strive for, and sometimes struggle to find. I hope that my sculpture is a fascinating and peaceful work that points towards a simpler relationship with the world.

    Weathering Steel (cor-ten) is a steel alloy which  acquires a stable, rust-like appearance over time. It’s surface has a matt textured finish with a wonderful depth of colour which changes from a light orange to a deep purple over the decades.

    Galvanised Steel with a mordent finish leaves a soft textured matt surface with a wonderfully interesting pewter/lead colouring that will darken when wet.

  • Kinetic Study by Ed Willis – £575

    Kinetic Study by Ed Willis – £575

    Kinetic Study 31 (The Greenwood Tree),

    edition of 12, 

    Resin, copper and brass,  

    approx. 60 x 45 cm,

    About the sculpture
    This piece is one in a series that is about contrast and duality. The very solid, grounded and definite figure of the resin base gives support to the more ephemeral, complicated and less certain mobile structure. The two parts give sense and purpose to each other, perhaps in the way that two people might, or even in the way two facets of an individual personality might.
    About the artist
    Now living and working in Bath, Edward has a degree in philosophy from Bristol University and in his kinetic sculptures he explores ideas of fragility and strength as well as balance and resolution. Drawing inspiration from the natural world and the human figure, his work is often suggestive of botanical or skeletal structures. The elegant, fluid forms express a sense of harmony and rhythmic energy, coupled with a feeling of tranquil equilibrium.

  • Murmuration by Richard Cresswell – £3,950

    Murmuration by Richard Cresswell – £3,950

    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 by Richard Cresswell – £3,950

    Parasol by Richard Cresswell – £3,950

    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.

  • Spitfire by Richard Cresswell – £18,000

    Spitfire by Richard Cresswell – £18,000

    Spitfire

    £18,000 

    3.4 h x 2.2 x 0.2

    My love affair with the shape of Spitfire started many years ago when as a teenager I used to go to air displays.
    There would always be a Spitfire there and when it took to the skies the pilot would always make a few low passes with the plane seemingly standing on a wing tip as it carved an ark in the sky showing the elliptical outline of the wing against a cloudless sky making it the most beautiful flying machine I ever saw. That shape has stayed with me ever since and it is that shape which now as a sculptor I can interpret into Spitfire.
    As the pilots did standing the plane on a wing tip to display it, I also do the profile changing as the wind turns the work to face a different direction. The fuselage is a sleek aerodynamic shape to add context to the piece and the mirror polished metal is my nod to the original design when it was a racing seaplane designed to win the Schneider Trophy.

    Quill by Richard Cresswell – £2,950

    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.

  • Active Surface by Andrew Lee – £2,900lee

    Active Surface by Andrew Lee – £2,900lee

    “Active Surface” by Andrew Lee – £2900

    Sixty-six stainless steel ‘Flags’, each 100 x 75mm, together reveal the beauty of the invisible wind as it pulses across the sculpture. The structure is meticulously engineered so the gentlest puff of a breeze will register.

    Stainless steel top frame 170 cm x 73 cm. Support stand 170 cm high from powder-coated mild steel.

    Wire, clips and springs all from stainless steel.

    Edition: Unique.

    Price: £2,900. Ground Fixings extra £75.

    Behind all my wind sculptures is the desire to give the viewer a true depiction of the wind’s qualities.

    I favour a geometric and anonymous appearance to my work so allowing the wind itself to become the ‘object’ of beauty. Unlike my stand-alone sculptures in the past, here I have opted for a two- dimensional format of considerable width so the wind can be seen to travel in waves across the surface.
