Lightning Shoots
Stoneflower
Bearded Rose

Andrew Pert

The idea came from 'Lithops' cactus. - flowering stones. Made from copper sheet, a chalk pebble and beads.

1. Stoneflower If you plant seeds too close together thee seedlings bolt and produce premature flowers. Made of copper lightning conductor tape, slit and twisted with beads and marbles.

2. Lightning Shoots The inspiration was the lead rose from an ancient water tank. The wires threaded through the spray holes are supposed to be loose so that the beads on the ends catch the light. An exotic flower head.

Dark Movement
Lara

Linda Thompson

Returning slowly to the joy of the realisation, through creation, of questions of form, structure and balance, which touch and harmonise with my very soul.

Stencil

George Hainsworth

This piece has taken an obdurate material (marble) and penetrated it so that it's environment, surroundings, context can be included and drawn into the sculpture (in this case water). The stencils in the marble make sculptural shapes of the water. Stencil

Wadjeyt

Martin Nelson

My subject matter is often determined by the initial form of the stone which 'speaks to me' resulting in work which is both organic and figurative. A recent visit to Egypt fired my imagination. As a result my recent work has a strong Ancient Egyptian influence. The Godess Wadjeyt

Bridge

Lucy Hainsworth

This oak beam was possibly first worked by man a couple of hundred years ago, and carries with it a long history of it's own. My input has been minimal, merely being to reveal it's strength and beauty and to re-present it as a bridge between a past era and this one, as well as an echo of a real bridge such as stands nearby over the lilypond.

1.Walking on Water. 2.Venus

Alan Gummerson

Elbows, knees and feet have all been utilised as indicators of the human figure. The site did the rest.

1. Walking on Water Some six or seven months ago a rather aggressive little image became an ingredient in work about both places and people. The advent of a garden site easily added the fly eating plant.

Another Flood

Barry Midgley

I live in a wet place where the weather dictates the pattern and pace of life. Noah had the right idea. 4. Another Flood
