‘A Study in Black and Gold #1’ features scrambling blackberry (Rubus fructicosus) plants in white, delicately sculpted using traditional wax flower making techniques, and dried insect specimens donated by a museum curator, mounted inside American lime and glass entomology cabinet drawers.

In this piece, the blackberries which in the wild provide an important source of nectar for pollinators,
appear to be growing inside the entomology drawer alongside the preserved bee specimens, highlighting
their mutually beneficial relationship. 

Created exclusively for Collect 2025 and in response to the curatorial theme of Black and Gold, these monotone sculptures draw on the internationally renowned blackberry (Rubus) collection at the National Museum of Wales. To reflect this, the drawer is labelled by the artist as if part of a scientific collection.

Townsend's own observations of nature within the urban environment combine with her memories and experiences as a natural science conservator to create works that are scientifically accurate, yet artistically stunning - drawing us, through art, into a consideration and conversation about nature and its fragile beauty.

The piece can be be wall mounted or displayed flat and can be bought individually or as a pair.

This dramatic limited edition piece captures the  movement and balance typical of a Martin Duffy sculpture. 

The larger scale allows Martin to amplify the detail of his smaller pieces to recreate the tension, urgency and drama that lies behind this annual rite of passage.

The graceful lines and elegance of expression in this  beautiful study is typical of Angela’s work as she explores the inherent beauty and sensuality of the female form. 

Drawing on classical figurative sculpture, Angela creates an exquisite study in bronze that invites the observer to consider and reflect.

One of a series of three bronze works, this exquisite sculpture showcases the smooth, flowing lines and detail that Angela employs within her work to create sculpture that is at once classical, yet relevant to the timeless celebration of the female form.

Limited edition of 10, numbered and signed by the Maker.   

The values of classical figurative sculpture epitomised in this beautifully observed piece which creates a sense of serenity and stillness.

The third in a series of bronze works, this piece showcases Angela’s fascination with the inherent sensuality of the female form, every detail inspired by her understanding of the naked form.

The second in a series of bronze sculptures this piece immediately draws the observer into the world of the  sculpted - pausing to ask what has caused her to stir, what dream is she waking from.

Sculpted in her Carmarthenshire studio, this tactile and sensuous piece epitomises her use of flowing lines and textures to create a sensuous piece celebrating the inherent beauty of the female form.

In this naturalistic piece, Martin captures the stillness, poise and focus of the fox cub, showcasing his ability to create an energy and story behind the sculpture - that of the hunter and the hunted. 

Every detail is considered and beautifully observed - a hallmark of Martin’s work and his meticulous attention to detail in every stage of the sculpting process.
