Laurence Edwards and I have worked together for 14 years and I always look forward to visiting his studio and get a glimpse of the fascinating process of bronze casting and on this occasion I went to preview an outdoor piece I commisioned earlier in the year.

Gatherer, bronze, edition /9, 103 x 24 x 40.5cm.
Here he is, as yet no title, a powerful piece that will inspire comment!

I met Rick Kirby for the first time last week when he delivered two fantastic new pieces for the Christmas Show.
Witness, 102cm, stainless steel coins
Kirby uses industrial methods of welding steel to produce these beautiful female forms. If it looks familiar you might have seen his work dotted about the country as Rick is best known for his large scale public commissions some of which are several metres wide such as his ‘Cross the Divide’ sculpture which can be seen outside St Thomas’ Hospital in London.
The Call, 192cm, mild steel plates
This sculpture looks fantastic in the gallery, it’s sensuous and elegant which contrasts with the industrial materials used to create it and it’s also really striking at 192cm tall.
Both sculptures are on display now, the gallery is open Thurs, Fri, Sat 10am – 5pm or by appointment
