Client Reviews
Kindle offers a profound statement for a curated garden. Its elegant, flowing form, meticulously crafted from brushed stainless steel, is an artful interpretation of an enduring flame. This sculpture transcends mere decoration; it is intended to symbolise the "flame of knowledge," representing the quiet, steady glow of intellectual curiosity and enlightenment. This theme is sure to resonate with those who design their spaces for deeper contemplation.
The piece features organic contours that catch and reflect natural light, embodying a continuous flicker, and, at its centre, a circular aperture holds a vibrant, custom-fused-glass insert. This brilliant play of colour provides a striking counterpoint to the cool metallic surfaces, especially when sunlight passes through.
The bespoke glasswork is optional, allowing collectors to personalise Kindle. This attention to detail and craftsmanship ensures each piece feels unique. More than an object, Kindle is designed to be a significant, lasting feature that draws the eye without dominating and offers an enduring reminder of human aspiration.
Its presence is compelling, providing a sophisticated focal point in any thoughtful garden design. An investment in art of this calibre ensures a space that continues to offer moments of quiet contemplation, which is precisely the kind of experience valued by patrons of fine gardening and sculpture alike.
Sculpture Information
-
To ensure your artwork is positioned exactly as intended and remains secure for years to come, all of my sculptures arrive fully ready to install.
Depending on the specific piece, your sculpture will come equipped with either stainless steel fixing lugs or an attached base plate featuring pre-drilled holes. This hardware allows the artwork to be firmly bolted directly into your chosen foundation, guaranteeing maximum support, stability, safety, and security in its new environment.
To perfectly elevate and showcase your sculpture, plinths are available in any size up to 3ft. If your site requires a grander scale, alternative sizes can be crafted at an additional cost.
Please contact me for more information or to discuss the specific display requirements for your space.

How often a piece requires cleaning will naturally depend on its specific location and surrounding environment. However, to preserve its finish and ensure your sculpture continues to look its best, an occasional wipe-down is all that is required.
Simply use mild, warm soapy water applied with a soft, damp cotton cloth or sponge to gently remove any naturally accumulated dust or dirt.
To ensure you have all the information you need to look after your new artwork for years to come, a detailed sculpture care guide will be emailed to you upon the purchase of your piece.

Every sculpture is crafted with high-quality 316 marine-grade stainless steel. As a premium, high-strength material, this specific grade offers the highest level of resistance to rusting and tarnishing. This ensures the artwork can comfortably withstand harsh weather and maintain its striking finish, even in demanding coastal locations.
The majority of my mirrored sphere balls are fabricated in 304 grade stainless steel providing a beautiful presence in any outdoor space.

As a distinctive characteristic of my artwork, I offer a unique, hand-etched flowing pattern design that beautifully accentuates the metal's light-reflecting properties. This bespoke texture catches the light as the day changes, bringing a dynamic energy to the piece. Alternatively, a classic flat brushed finish is also available across all sculptures for a clean, timeless aesthetic.
If you wish to introduce a specific palette into your space, every piece can be commissioned with a custom powder-coated finish. Guided entirely by your personal preference, you can select any desired hue to complement your architectural or garden design. Each professionally applied powder-coated finish is crafted with care and comes with a 5-year guarantee, ensuring the artwork's surface remains vibrant and protected.
