New Additions
Following our 2024 outdoor sculpture exhibition, 'Exhale', we are delighted to have acquired two outdoor glass sculptures by Jackson Fawkes for the permanent collection at Buscot Park. Richard Jackson and Sally Fawkes are highly regarded British glass artists who create artworks as individuals as well as together in collaboration. They are based in Stroud, Gloucestershire, and their sculptures can be found in private, corporate and museum collections around the world, including the V&A Museum and the National Museum of Scotland. The two new outdoor sculptures join three indoor sculptures by Jackson Fawkes that are already part of the Faringdon Collection.
Oblique Echoes II (2013) by Sally Fawkes can be found in the Walled Garden, close to the entrance archway. Sally's sculptures encourage you to connect your sense of sight with your thought processes. What you see within the arching curves of Oblique Echoes is not seen directly but an echo of somewhere else.
Living Column (2022) by Jackson Fawkes can be found in the pleasure grounds, on the path between the obelisk sundial and Antinous statue, where it echoes a nearby fir tree. The sculpture was inspired by a huge, 250 year old sycamore tree. Jackson Fawkes say, "Trees are windows into the mechanics of life, the passage of time is carved into their bark. Our survival depends on the care of these magnificent living columns."
