Outdoor Sculpture

OUTDOOR SCULPTURE

"Sculpture must, above all, be a thing of beauty; it must uplift the spirit and enhance its surroundings."

Making an object that is not essentially utilitarian defines humanity. It is the concept of beauty. A sculpture, on a superficial level must encapsulate beauty; it must uplift the spirit and enhance its surroundings. But on a deeper level it should resonate with the viewer and have a subconscious appeal to their emotions, whether those emotions are the same as the artist intended is not important, what is important is that the viewer connects with the art.

Most of my outdoor sculptures can be seen at my sculpture park, Sculpture by the Lakes, in Dorset. It is the ideal location to look at outdoor sculpture as it gives you a sense of scale and how careful placement can enhance the landscape and the sculpture.
