Having been twice before (and spent a fortune both times) I was unsure about the return but off we went and found three pieces that will inspire me in the future:
The first is a simple piece of 'rock art' carved out of sandstone by Andrew Oldfield from Derby (£1200)The grace of the deer and the way the form flows with the grain of the rock is fantastic and reminds me I have to hunt out the cavemen A.S.A.P.
The second was a quirky 'Triffid' style piece of Ironwork. The only problem is I have no idea who made this as the catalogue did not match the final location of the sculptures and I did not track this one down.
The last one is a smaller piece entitled Zephyr made from copper and scrap metal (£250) by Iain Tatum who is the creator of the most fantastic piece in the show.
The face of Zephyr was about the size of a football with 'flames' coming out of the back, wrapping around cogs and gears. I only grabbed this single photo to show - the others I have are close up images that give no sense of beauty or form but in themselves have an attraction to me.
