Series – Impulsive Line

2019 has seen the beginning of my brand new concept 'Impulsive Line'. I love nature of translating my 2d line sketches into 3d hand bent shapes in space. Each piece focuses on beautiful swirling curved lines, interacting with each other but never touching. The lines tangle together and cross back and forth, filling a mass of space. I usually draw a plan for the direction of the piece, but then allow the formation to take its own shape when bending it, working with the potential of the metal and the balancing properties of the shape that emerge only when close to completion. For example some pieces will sway side to side in the wind, and others may wobble and pulsate within their mass.

Two large 16mm matching pieces in rusty and stainless steel featured in Hardy's Cottage Plants gold medal winning show garden at Chelsea Flower Show 2019.

Prices are quoted individually - a small 8mm Rebar piece might cost ~£300, or a large stainless 16mm tube piece might cost ~£1000.
