Artist Comment

A Djinn is a spirit of air and fire, described in the Quran as a `scorching wind` and the word originally meant `what is hidden` - a concept which I have tried to capture in it`s form. Developing the sculpture I concentrated on the proccess of using repetitive form of material - flat steel bar, to generate concepts and capture the movement of elemental reactions. This sculpture is made from steel and finished with a beautiful patina I have developed called `Hematite Skin`. I use chemicals that darken the steel whilst using a process that adds subtle colours to give the surface a depth that draws the viewer in. Similar sculptures can be sized to fit any space. All djinn sculptures vary in form to make them unique pieces

  • The ArtParkS Guarentee

    All the sculptures on the website are described by the Artists themselves stating the materiel they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors they have a guarentee of 10 years subject to the effects of weathering which will alter their colour and finish over the years unless you give them  regular cleaning and maintenance. For instance Bronze and to a lesser extent bronze resin/cold cast bronze will aquire a green patina, usually rather sought after and all could attract moss  lichen and a greeny pollen especially under trees which should be removed regularly with warm water and washing up liquid.
    Iron and steel will oxidise(rust ) and this falls outside our guarentee.
    Organic materiel like wood, bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited and you should discuss any guarentee direct with the Artist as this too falls outside our Guarentee.
