Project:
The Alnwick Garden, Water Sculptures

The practice is currently working with William Pye on the Serpent Garden Water Sculptures at The Alnwick Garden, owned by The Duke and Duchess of Northumberland. The dynamic interplay of water, stainless steel and light will result in a stunning collection of contemporary artwork, which will characterise this part of the gardens and will be viewed to dramatic effect by both day and at night.

Lighting trials are undertaken in order to establish appropriate levels of illumination, together with colour selection, offset, integration and concealment. The concept is to light the perimeter yew hedging that encloses each sculpture, which will then reflect in the stainless steel and reinforce a sense of depth and perspective. The integration of more localised lighting within the artwork highlights the theatrical movement and direction of the water.
