The hand carved lettering in this beautiful sister piece to Fragile Form Sculpture No#1 captures the signature motifs within the Fragile Form Collection. 

Created for Collect 2025, the sculpture evokes a sense of decay and fragility as seen in the pages of an ancient book - the words and language, the wisdom they hold, remaining when all else has withered and gone, the sculpted form reminiscent of a turning page.   

Inspired by William Blake's poem ‘Indra’s Net’ this beautiful sculpture created by Beate Gegenwart for Collect 2025, encapsulates signature motifs within her work - movement and fluidity. In this piece she evokes the intricate rhythms of water - the sparkling currents and ever changing movement of the sea - observed as she walks near her home in Gower. Mounted here on red, the sculpture can be backed with different colours as shown below, drawing out different motifs within the work and our response to it.

These exquisite boxes of silver and wood, have chased sliver lines that mirror the chosen wood grain. 

This piece by Mary Ann Simmons is typical of her experimentation with the simple box form to create unique and original silver works. 

Responding to our curatorial theme for Collect 2025 -  'Black &Gold' - she developed these tall faceted 'pinstripe' forms to take advantage of the dramatic of contrast of gold accents against a black background. 

Shown here individually and in a group, Pinstripe Vessel (2) is one of a series of works that can be purchased seperately or as a triptych as shown below.   

Responding to our curatorial theme for Collect 2025 -  'Black &Gold' - Mary Ann developed these tall faceted 'pinstripe' forms to take advantage of the dramatic contrast of gold accents against a black background. 

Typical of her 'box' form designs, these multifaceted forms can be purchased individually or as a group as shown below. 

Simmons' response to our curatorial theme of ‘Black and Gold’ was to create this unusual collection of ‘pinstripe’ forms using the dramatic contrast of gold accents against a black background to accentuate the edge to each individual face. 

Simmons uses the box form to create her exceptional silver work which has evolved from cubes to an exploration of symmetric and asymmetric, multifaceted forms. 

These pinstripe vessels created for Collect are a perfect example of this exploration and can be purchased individually or separately.
