| Sculpture for the garden | |
| The right piece of sculpture can enhance the beauty of any outdoor space.
Mike has created works over many years for every space imaginable, from country estates to tiny cottage gardens. With an emphasis on natural themes and materials and traditional skills to compliment the atmosphere of the outdoor environment.

Works in stone
Carved from local limestone, each work develops slowly in the studio as a unique piece. Mike uses stone which has been reclaimed from ancient buildings giving each piece a further history. It is not unusual to sense the previous use of these massive blocks as window mullions, cornices and capitals in some of England’s great buildings. The carving process is arguably the truest form of sculpture. It involves the gradual reduction of the raw material to expose the form and surface of the work in the artist’s mind. The sculptor is guided by the material itself as faults, veins or grains restrict or suggest new directions the work could take.

| Cast works:
Cast from the artist`s original work, marble dust is added to achieve the look and texture of a stone relief.

|
| Cast works in the round can have a powerful presence within a garden setting.
Larger pieces allow garden designers to create focal points and structure among their planting schemes.
