“That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.” ~ as Shakespeare so perfectly observed. Here, scent is imagined rather than literal — an invitation for the viewer to engage through memory and feeling.
A figure poised mid-gesture, lifting a rose as if to savour its scent, suspended between performance and private reverie.
Cast in bronze resin and lined with fibreglass, the sculpture balances strength with lightness, allowing surface detail and gesture to take precedence.
The figure’s skirt is embellished with the impression of full Irish linen, its texture deliberately preserved to honour the intimacy of handmade cloth. The bodice draws from the elegant restraint of a vintage leather opera glove, adorned with carefully placed motifs sourced from brocante — fragments of history reassembled to suggest memory, playfulness and adornment.
Figurative sculptures that explore whimsy, emotion and the quiet drama of human movement.
Each piece draws on tactile materials and found references to create figures that feel both timeless and personal — moments caught in bronze that speak softly but linger.
Available works from this collection celebrate the poetry of gesture and the emotional language of the body, offering sculptures that bring warmth, narrative and a sense of wonder into both garden and interior settings

Bronze Resin – also known as “cold cast bronze” or bonded bronze, is made of real bronze powder, mixed with polyester, epoxy or another resin and poured into a rubber reusable mould.
This is backed up with very strong fibreglass and resin.
Because real bronze powder is used over its surface, cold cast bronze can be colored or patinated (a chemical reaction with the metals in bronze) to look very similar to Foundry Bronze.
Production time: 4 - 6 weeks upon receipt of deposit
