Mixing different sizes of pipe section into asymmetric patterns to create a contrast between the strength of the metal and the delicacy of the decorative effect. Ive called the mirrors Bubble because the shapes remind me of dreams bubbling up from the sub-conscious into the waking mind. This technique can be used to make a wide range of pieces including screens and picture frames.
'Coil' is a development from 'Loop' fireplaces which use individual steel rings of different sizes to create installations. In 'Coil', Cathy experiments with continuous springs of steel, brought to life by flames from an invisible burner leaping up through the sculpture.
A concept which Cathy has developed for indoors and out. Each piece is a total one off, made and sized to order. Prices for Nest start from £950 for a piece 600wide x 300 deep.
Indoors: Nest sits on top of a concealed gas burner, filled with fake coals.
Outdoors: Nest can be used as an outside fire to burn real logs (real logs not recommended inside)
