Garden Sculpture

Garden Sculpture

Below you will find a collection of images of  my sculptures in a garden setting. These photos might have been taken in the many sculpture parks I exhibited in;  or  in the private gardens  of clients who bought my sculptures. 

Sculptures and garden form a symbiosis, enhancing each other to great effect: gardens are enriched through the focal point of a sculpture ; sculptures in turn come alive and are softened as they integrate into the lawn,  foliage or flowers of borders .

The position of the sculpture within the garden is paramount: Exposed and taking centre stage on a lawn; with a view into the valley and the river Thames; or seeking protection in the space beneath an oak tree. 

Plinths or bases of various height control the relationship between sculpture and surroundings, supporting the overall design of art in the garden. They might be wood logs, a garden wall, thin steel rods, stone columns or a rusted steel base; they might be visible or camouflaged in foliage or flowers. 

Creating colour contrast to its garden environment, you see the  brilliant blue of “Abstract Wave 2” interact with the white and bright green of the mock orange bush; or the dark “Etruscan Couple 2” embedded within white margaritas; the turquoise in the dark “Big Embrace” resonating with the red dahlias around it ;Or the vivid green of the “Arum Lilly” complementing the rust-red of the old brick wall behind it .

Weather and seasons affect plants and sculptures alike, through frost, snow, rain, sun and shade; and allow the sculpture to become part of nature.

Sculpture Garden Visits

I frequently  open my studio with the “Oxfordshire Arts Weeks” sheme running for a week in May, which is a good occasion to see most of my sculptures in the garden, home  and studio.Inmy galleries there are usually only 2-5 of my sculptures on show. Coming over for an open studio event is an occasion for enjoyment and interest; or to discuss an idea for a commision you have in mind.
You can also arrange a studio and garden visit at other times by yourself just email me to arrange a mutually convenient time:
I live within twenty minute south west of Oxford, near Abingdon and Wantage, in the village of Garford (OX13 5PF)
