2 pieces on show at the stunning contemporary garden designed by Piet Oudolf.
Corridor.
Cast Iron 200mm diam x 2900 mm high, edition of 4. Sited at the end of blind corridor of beech hedging. The iron column is based on studies of tyre tracks - the idea of something static and solid born out of marks left as a result of passage and possibility. The column introduces something of the language and process of heavy industry into the comparative calm of the cultivated garden environment.
Yat.
Oak gate, sandstone, hand forged steel fixings 1000 mm x 1400 mm. Gateway from formal gardens into veg garden. The design of the gate, born out of playing with letters and words along with a desire to make functional objects with some meaning, uses the letters Y A T - dialect word for gate and marks the departure from the esoteric to the fundamental.
The gate is available in a variety of versions and can be adapted for purpose,
