This sculpture shows the way the sun and moon connect with each other by setting on the sea. Both can create wonderful reflections on a calm sea with a few rippling waves. This gives a wonderful broken reflective surface for the light to fracture on the water.
I create my sculptures first in clay and sometimes plaster, from my little garden studio where I live in the seaside city of Brighton & Hove, UK. They then go to my families casting studio to be a cold cast in bronze and resin. These sculptures are of the highest quality finish and great care and time is taken to achieve this.
Frequently asked questionsI
Q. I live in the EU - do I need to pay import duties?
A. The import duty is 0% - Original artwork (HS code 9703.00) is duty-free in the EU

Some countries also charge a handling/clearance fee, collected on delivery - approximately 20 Euros.
Q. Can it be used as a garden sculpture?
A. Yes the sculpture is completely frost-proof making it suitable for the garden. Due to the almost solid bronze outer layer, it does react with the weather and can, as solid bronze, develop verdigris. This can be cleaned off very gently if required by using a small "wash up" sponge with a rough side to it. This will highlight the metal.
Q. What about after care?
A. Do not use strong detergents or chemical cleaners, as this will destroy the surface. If placed outside is advisable to polish the sculpture with pure bees wax once a year.
Q. Ordering sculptures?
A. Ordering an additional sculpture in bronze or another finish such as aluminium or rusted iron for example has a lead-time of 6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Care instructions
Wax and polish - once a year
After cleaning your sculpture with water and a small amount of detergent, polish your sculpture. Use beeswax polish (in a tin) and a dry soft cloth. With a cloth or a brush, work a thin layer of the wax onto the sculpture so that it is evenly coated, then wait for it to dry. You can consult the packaging on your wax of choice to know exactly how long this should take. Then, with a clean cloth, you should buff the wax, making sure to give your sculpture an extra polish in those areas where it may have been dulled the most. Even though your sculpture may not look dirty, it is recommended that you give your sculpture a clean and wax about once or twice a year. This helps preserve the original patination.
Displaying sculptures - pedestals/plinths
Useful information about how to display your sculpture can be found here:
https://www.forging-ahead.co.uk/Plinths.htm
Some photos show my sculptures displayed on slate-affect planters that have been turned upside down and used as pedestals. They are relatively inexpensive and you can find a variety of stone finishes and sizes. They are also easy to move around. One customer placed a tile, matching in size and colour, on top of an upturned planter to display their sculpture, which looked great. https://www.primrose.co.uk/planters
