This sculpture is called Egress — one of four new limited edition offerings from Terra Sculpture in California. All of their works are a welcome departure from the fake lions and angels and greek maidens that adorn so many gardens, but you need a rather modern garden style to go with them.
Egress is fashioned from weathered and stainless steel and stands 75 inches tall and 30 inches in diameter, so you need a nice tall backdrop and some room to make it a noticeable focal point.
Gravity is a bit more funky, in stainless as well … it almost looks like vertical pick up sticks. It's a bit taller, at 80 inches, and a bit narrower, too, only 28 inches wide. So it could easily fit into a garden corner, or perhaps be placed at the end of a long allee. Depending on the surrounding landscape, it would also be a standout with the sky as a backdrop.
Figure — well, with a little imagination it could be the figure of a person — is also fashioned from stainless steel and it's 73 inches tall by 24 wide. It's a see-through sculpture, so you'd need to carefully consider its background — imagine this one against deep blue, red, or brightly-colored fence or wall. Perfect for the modern garden.
Joy. This sculpture has an exuberant feeling to it, and you can order this one in either weathered or powder-coated steel. It's 73 inches high and three feet in diameter, with a base of 24 inches.
All of these sculptures are hand-crafted by landscape designer Jennifer Gilbert Asher and architect Mario Lopez.
