Flora

Description

This sculpture was made by Adam Wight (Robin Wight’s Son)

“Flora” is a stainless steel wire sculpture of a fairy releasing dandelion seeds (Fairy Wishes) into the air. She is wearing a copper leaf skirt which has been lacquered to withstand all weathers without tarnishing.

Background

The name Flora was the name of the Roman Goddess of flowers, and a nymph (fairy) of the Islands of the Blessed. Flora was often associated with the coming of spring and the fertility of the land. I thought that Flora was a fitting name for this sculpture as she looks as if she is spreading the spring as she is literally spreading seeds as she goes wearing her flower skirt. Her arrival marked the moment when slumbering nature stirred, when leaves rustled and flowers unfurled their petals. She carried with her the sweet sounds of birdsong and the delicate fragrance of blooming blossoms.

I have been learning my father Robin Wight’s method of wire sculpture and making them to his standard. Although this one is completely my design and creation, I have made it in the workshop along side my father Robin whilst he has been making his own sculptures. So he has kept and eye on the quality of this finished piece. I realise that some buyers may be looking for a “Robin Wight” sculpture, if so then Robin’s sculptures will be listed on the website when they become available. Otherwise this is a authentic FantasyWire ltd Sculpture made by Adam Wight.
