Client Reviews
Orion offers a charming blend of geometric strength and open, elegant design, ideal for bringing a contemporary touch to a cultivated outdoor setting. Handcrafted with meticulous attention to detail, this metal globe features a series of gracefully intersecting bands that form an armillary-inspired sphere. The finish reflects the surrounding landscape, integrating seamlessly with mature plantings. Its form is designed to offer a different perspective from every angle, making it a constant source of interest in the garden.
For the discerning gardener, creating a harmonious blend of art and nature is key, and Orion achieves this through its lattice-style design. This design allows the surrounding environment to be seen through the piece, framing views of distant landscapes or catching the varied textures of nearby plantings. Whether placed prominently on its textured metal pedestal or nestled subtly among mature foliage, Orion’s distinctive silhouette will catch the eye. The shifting light across its surfaces provides ongoing visual interest, transforming a simple garden walk into a moment of discovery. A thoughtfully placed Orion will surely be a cherished addition, offering a year-round point of reflection and beauty.
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.
