Garden
Stone pieces are from local granite or serpentine. Wood pieces are made from recycled greenheart, macrocarpa, or oak. Metal sculptures are bronze, stainless steel or aluminium, cast in Devon or locally in Hayle. All pieces are finished here at Wood Studio.
Often a garden lacks vertical lines and a tall sculpture can lead the eye from low levels to the majesty of trees.
There are a number of works for outdoors available now at Wood Studio and several in process..
Smaller works may suit an existing plinth or wall, or niche, or on the patio.
Please note: Larger pieces may need groundwork to support the weight. Usually, a concrete base is below ground level, gravelled or grassed over later. Tall work is generally pinned to the base. Visitors are welcome to discuss their initial idea or browse and see what aspects may be of interest, whether work is to be viewed in the round or, more usually, if there is a preferred viewing point.
Previous works are included here for further inspiration. Even a stone bench can have many variations, and it takes a little time to discover one’s preferences enjoyably.
“The aesthetics of a piece of raw stone, to allow, invite a natural presence in our environs, without needing to be a Stonehenge, is a reflection of one’s dance with Nature.
A wall delineating an area in mass or grounding as a stone bench, an alighting place. On wandering country walks, one finds a 5-minute perch to rest or admire the view.
A placed piece in the view, or a discovered piece around the shrubbery, all have their purpose to enlarge the interest of the garden.”
