Alexandra Harley - Shiels

£4,200.00

33 x 23 x 20 cm

Steam bent bamboo cast into bronze, wood

2022

My sculptures are not in themselves kinetic but seek to capture a fleeting moment, engaging with the suspension of movement by fixing a physical interpretation of a brief and transitory fragment in time. They are abstract constructions, engaging with a wide variety of materials and employing diverse construction methods. Sheils, originally a steam-bent bamboo construction, was cast into bronze, fixing that moment permanently. In Cha, the wood was deliberately and carefully burnt to create a distinctive contrast with the stone.

Please note that delivery is not included in the price. Delivery costs will be the responsibility of the buyer. The delivery method and payment will be arranged with Parker Harris after purchase, and Parker Harris will contact all buyers once their purchase is complete. Buyers will not receive the work until after the exhibition at Wells Cathedral closes on Saturday 7 November 2026. Works can be collected from Wells Cathedral on Sunday 8 or Monday 9 November 2026, 9.30am–4.30pm.
