Ed Hill - August Update - Essence of Peacock

Here are my recent works. Recently I have been creating works for 'South Sands Hotel', 'Stone Lane Gardens', and preparing for 'RHS Rosemoor Sculpture Park'. (This winter 2018 Nov-Feb)

My sculptures are designed with the garden in mind. The peacock below is made from stainless steel cutlery and kitchen utensils. I also use stainless steel filler rod when I am welding. So no laquer is required.

The idea for the peacock arose from a box of souvenir teaspoons I was presented with at St. Luke's charity shop. 'Can you do anything with these?', I was asked. It was a couple of weeks later when I returned with an idea. I thought they would be a great way to add colour and curiosity to a colourful bird like the peacock.

I now regard these peacock sculptures as my greatest art pieces yet. I like the heraldic/regal/elegant look they conjure. 

This is a sneak peak at a sculpture I have not yet finished but have been working on recently. The 'Silver Squirrel'

My Visit to Delamore in March 2018

A couple of weeks ago I went to Delamore to have a look around the gardens to gain a feel for the place, before I exhibit there in May. Since Christmas, I have been drawing, sculpting and designing red squirrels ready for the exhibition. It has taken a while, but I am happy with the outcome and I hope that you will enjoy them as much as I have enjoyed making them. Furthermore, I have also been developing some new birds. These will be mounted on rods which can be staked out in the garden, using high grade stainless steel cutlery. 

These photos were taken by the journalist/writer Laura Joint during my interview. Her website is www.laurajoint.co.uk

Another photo on the day of my visit to Delamore in March. I think we picked the best day.
