Garden Statues

June 30, 2014 by Samantha Willis

David Harber Obelisk

I first really started admiring garden statues at Cothay Manor where a magnificent stag lords over the wildflower meadow. Garden Statues focus the eye, enlighten a dull corner and will enhance a garden.  David Harber and his team clearly demonstrated their skill at designing and positioning statues at their show at Eaton Square where the Torus shone out in the simple design of lawn and trees adding a harmony where the shadows of the trees were brought down to our eye level. The show was a garden of treasures where David’s cleaver use of steel and bronze was a journey of delight. The Chalice pool, with it’s slow rotating water was soothing in the courtyard area.  At the end of a hot day, dangling your fingers in felt refreshing and relaxing. The bronze Quill was a really cleaver, illuminating the garden from it’s rather dark corner. I watched a number of people go up to look for the lighting but whilst it was gleaming in  the evening light there was no electricity. The Obelisk was an absolute treat as it was placed in the shady area and was so cleverly situated as at times it was almost lost.  It brought light and joy to a dark area. All was a  joy to see and whilst you might be disappointed that you missed this, I’d head to Hatfield House where some sculptors can be viewed along with other garden sculptor exhibits and I’m sure you’ll find a garden statue that will suit your garden. https://www.lovesculpture.uk.com/
