The weather has, at least, made the garden lush and fresh! These wet cow parsley Sculptures are beautifully dark – dramatically silhouetted with the sun behind them, giving them a halo of copper. I love how they change as the light and humidity alters, constantly bringing this area of the garden to life. This image […]
It has been another wonderful day in the garden today. The sun decided to make an appearance and Anna Kime Placed four fabulous pieces of work in the garden. This one is called Contour and celebrates the qualities of this clay beautifully. It shows every fine detail and movement as if the piece is still […]
It is Lovely to sit under the canopy and see the subtle collection of porcelain fruit-like pieces that hang within the branches of this tree. It is called constant and is by ceramic artist Bev Seth. I have really enjoyed observing the tree change from bud laden twigs to this dense canopy which now envelopes […]

They seem to be dashing into position just in time for the private view tomorrow. Thank you so much Juliette they are […]

The first sculpture is in the garden and it looks absolutely beautiful. It is called Cow Parsley by Simon Hempsell. As the light changes it is spectacularly different. Sometimes it is delicate and lace like, other times dramatic and dark and when the sun shines it glows with light…And they gently sway in a breeze! […]
