A watersculpture
in copper and stainless steel. Water cascades gently down
a series of suspended bowls. Natural rhythms develop in the
flow of the water and sunlight and wind play an integral role
to create an ever-changing celebration of light and water.
The version
pictured here, for a small courtyard garden, measures 1.20
m , to the apex, but the concept can easily be scaled up or
down to suit a specific location.
Here the
reservoir, pump and filter are buried beneath a thin layer
of gravel. A trapdoor makes maintenance simple. This arrangement
ensures that the pump is completely silent. A hierarchy of
sound from high to low as the water trickles from small to
large bowls is an important element to this sculpture.

A watersculpture
in Hornton tone and concrete for the Orchard Centre Garden
at Gloucester Royal Hospital.
One of
a series of experimental low budget pieces at the Hospital
, designed by myself but partially realised using voluntary
labour.
Here paving
slabs, recycled from the site, have been cut and polished
with diamond abrasives to form the plinth.
