Stainless Steel | Creation
Creation in stainless steel continues my exploration of the egg form. Naturally associated with origin, containment and potential, the egg suggests something complete yet on the verge of emergence, a unified form that holds meaning without explanation.
Fabricated in cold-formed, mirror polished stainless steel, the sculpture achieves a seamless surface of exceptional clarity. Unlike slate or bronze, stainless steel gathers its surroundings and returns them to the viewer, creating an interesting dialogue. Sky, planting and architecture move across the curved surface, subtly distorted and continually changing. The landscape becomes part of the work.
The form rests on its side, as in the bronze version, grounded and settled rather than upright and declarative. In stainless steel this calm, resolved gesture is animated by light, shifting throughout the day while retaining composure.
Each piece begins as a hand formed original in clay and then copied in plaster before being translated into precisely fabricated stainless steel and polished to a gallery-level finish.
Creation can be realised from approximately sixty centimetres in length through to monumental scale, operating as either a refined interior presence or a powerful architectural focal point within gardens and open landscapes.
The image shown here is a visualisation which demonstrates the sculpture placed within a landscaped setting, illustrating how the form may be experienced at scale.
