A sculpture is not a static object, it is a conversation with its environment.

Defining the Dialogue: Sculpture & Space

Integrated into the commissioning process is a bespoke visualisation service, which helps us bridge the gap between the conceptual and the physical. By utilizing high-resolution 3D scans of each sculpture, we can witness the precise interplay of form, light, and material within your unique architecture or landscape before the work ever leaves the studio.

To begin the conversation, all we require are high-resolution images of your intended location. This simple starting point allows us to build a digital twin of your environment. From there, we provide a suite of bespoke visualisations that allow you to curate the space in real-time.

We don't just place a static image, we simulate the kinetic relationship between the sculpture and its home. You can witness how a mirror-polished finish pulls the colours of your garden into the form, or how a deep bronze patina anchors a minimalist interior. By adjusting scale and orientation digitally, we ensure the work commands the right presence, neither overpowering the space nor being lost within it.

Our visualisation service extends far beyond basic placement. Utilizing high-fidelity rendering and physics-based lighting, we can simulate the sculpture’s lifecycle within your site.

Scale calibration, we adjust the height and volume of the sculpture to ensure it sits in perfect proportion to your trees, walls, or ceiling heights.

Surface and colour explorations, weathered Corten steel, traditional bronze, or experimental patination finishes to find the perfect tonal match.

Illumination design, we can model integrated lighting structures, showing you exactly how the sculpture will be spotlighted at night to create a dramatic focal point.

Environmental simulation, we can simulate different weather conditions and seasons, showing how the sculpture holds its presence through winter frost or summer sun.

A Bespoke Vision for Your Location

In 2022, I was commissioned by Richard Miers to produce a bespoke sculpture for RHS Chelsea Flower Show garden, his garden was a grand masterpiece, that went on to win a Silver Gilt and the prestigious People’s Choice Award.

Although my sculpture was a single element within a complex composition, we utilised a rigorous digital process to "stress test" its presence long before it reached the garden.

I developed 3D digital models of both the garden’s architecture and the sculpture, this enabled Richard to look at the sightlines and ensure the sculpture would have a structural and aesthetic fit . Alongside a wide range of static visualisations, I produced cinematic walkthroughs, to visit the design virtually, exploring the sculpture’s impact from different perspectives.

By creating a digital twin of the environment, we move beyond estimation. Pairing this alongside the latest rendering and physics simulation, we can explore the impact of different times of the day, light levels, reflection of surface, etc.
