Commissioning a Sculpture

Creating a sculpture is a hugely complex, physical process. In the gallery we present the finished object held up as an object of beauty and veneration. Here we explore some of the journey from raw materials to finished object whether it be a stone-carving, a bronze or a piece fabricated from wood or sheet metal. […]
