ForM Sculpture Exhibition is a summer outdoor exhibition hosted by the Arts Service of Ards and North Down Borough Council.
I was delighted to have my sculpture ‘Erosion‘ selected for this annual event in the beautiful surroundings of The Walled Garden at Bangor Castle.
The exhibition curators selected an ideal position for Erosion, amidst green, bronze and silver planting to complement the burnt tones of the Mild Steel, while allowing the surrounding foliage to be reflected in the concave Stainless Steel leaf sections of the Sculpture.
This Sculpture was inspired by aged marine pillars, worn over time by ships lines which I observed during my time at sea.
Crafted from Mild Steel, which has been allowed to weather, capturing the passage of time and the effects of exposure.
The feature Stainless Steel elements, spaced along the sculpture, represent where the lines have chafed the pillars over the years, reflecting their timber origins.
“The exhibition will showcase selected works from artists from across the island of Ireland who exhibit both nationally and internationally, and are inspired by the garden environment”.
“A visit to Bangor Castle Walled Garden is a real escape and the sculptures enhance this experience even further.
“Some of the works are of large scale and compliment the setting whilst other, more subtle, works will need to be sought out, adding a further dimension to this engaging exhibition“.
“This Exhibition is an event to be enjoyed by the whole family!”
