‘Bonding’ Carrara and Welsh Slate - changing form and the value of space

I’ve been exploring the challenge of creating different forms in a single stone sculpture…well I guess it’s easy - you can look from different angles - but I was trying to see how the movement of a stone triptych could be used to create one or more forms. As I moved the pieces I also realised the importance of the spaces formed between each piece….
At the same time I was reading about Jorge Oteiza’s work - a Basque sculptor who explored ideas of the space in and around sculpture - negative space.. brilliant!
Anyway, my thinking resulted in the development of a piece called ‘Bonding’. The two main settings vary from 360mm and plus 500mm wide - obviously each of the parts of the triptych can be any where … closely related or totally divorced in different rooms.

Reflections on the Moon Gazer
A piece I’m pleased with… managing to achieve a new perspective on a well known form is always an artistic goal.
It’s a commission piece for someone’s birthday - hope they like it!

​If you get an opportunity to visit the Burford Garden Company I think you’ll be hugely impressed with the breadth, quality and originality of its product range, plus - the huge range of unique contemporary artwork there is great too
