Description
As landscape architects of international renown, Jon and his wife Susanne know how to work with a location towards enhancing a connection to place. They also know the importance of process in bringing a project to completion.
So, when commissioning a series of sculptures for a much-loved rockery in their garden, they naturally gravitated towards an artist whose artistic ability was complemented by a proven knowledge of process.
The gleaming cluster of stainless steel dragonflies that now stand poised upon blades of Corten steel leaves of grass is a testament to a deeply collaborative design process in which all stakeholders brought their knowledge and their considerable abilities to the table.
In addition to the use of legacy materials and the structural integrity of each work, the Corten leaf forms were shaped according to a species of grass around the rockery. The width of each grass blade allows for a gentle movement in the breeze, while each dragonfly form underwent a meticulous designed process to ensure a perfection of form from all possible vantage points.
Being nature lovers by nature and designers by profession, both Jon and Suzanne were delighted with the result.
