Garden Art for me was a natural progression- from designing and creating sculptures for the inside of a building to bringing the work outside. Having done two seasons of garden art for Brighton Festival, I was then asked to exhibit at the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden in Ockley. I really enjoy the natural weathering of the sculptures and have always had an interest in the way metal changes overtime. The work can become more beautiful the older it gets and I love the way sculpture can enhance a garden and vice versa.

When these flowers are placed in different garden settings, such as with this striking pink wall behind, they can look really effective. The strong tones allow for all year round colour.
My current work at the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden, is a series of sunflowers made from copper and metal mesh. They are slightly top heavy so move in the wind. Over time the copper will verdigris and become even more a part of the natural landscape.
At the Hannah Peschar Sculpture Garden in Ockley Surrey, I created an interactive sculptural piece that moved slightly when each individual element was touched. Here are the "orange" flowers in more detail.
