design concept The urn sculptures are a contemporary re-invention of the classical urn-on-plinth. Instead of traditional stonework, the flattened forms are cast in industrial grey or white concrete giving the sculptures an edgy, modern twist. The surface imagery has architectural references - particularly the voluptuous garlands and swag and drop detail of 18th century facades which, instead of being sculpted, are indented on a perfectly flat surface. Uniting baroque-style decoration with hardcore concrete creates an interesting and ironic juxtaposition. |
Outdoors: Traditionally, urns were often sited on parapets or in landscaped parkland more for their sculptural qualities than as a plant containers. These solid contemporary 'urns' play a similar role in the modern garden, providing interesting focal detail in all kinds of outdoor spaces - whether glimpsed though foliage or perched on balconies or plinths where they can be viewed at eye-level. Indoors: The urn sculptures are equally effective in interior settings and their small scale makes them perfect for mantlepieces or consoles. material + dimensions The sculptures are individually hand cast in frost-proof concrete. Heights are 24cms and 32 cms. commissions Urns can be commissioned in different sizes and shapes. On a larger scale, the sculptures could be incorporated into supports for seating or tables. |
