Garden Sculpture
Bronzes that hold their own against sky and stone — Jan Sweeney's garden sculptures make a statement in any outdoor space, from a walled courtyard to open parkland.
The Big Hare
and Simons Town
Sculptures in a garden add an extra dimension. I do enjoy making big sculptures — it's great fun! The Big Hare was the first one I did. I moved into the foundry in Simons Town near Cape Town, South Africa for two months as I did not know how to set about it. However, it was not so difficult and I was glad of the support and encouragement.
Garden sculptures do need to be big enough to make a statement if free standing. Putting a sculpture on a wall — such as Catch Me — can make it stand out, stunning against the sky. Victorian chimney plinths work beautifully too. Each piece can be fitted with extended metal threaded bars to anchor securely into the ground, stable in all weathers.
"The patination will stay much the same but over the years may get greener — and all the more beautiful for it."
