A Steel Book Sculpture That Would Create A Focal Point In A Public Space. For Sale for Outside Outdoors exterior showing.
By the fantastic Deedee Morrison who writes…..
“A Matter of Fiction is an intriguing sculpture, constructed using ten sheets of 3/4 inch industrial grade Corten steel. The metal is gracefully bent to shape and resembles the open pages of a book. The jacket of the book is laser intricately engraved to emulate the scroll patterns of a renaissance manuscript. The cover panels are a light box that illuminate the sculpture from within and cast a warm glow on the interior pages of the book at night.
A Matter of Fiction is a visual metaphor for the many journeyʼs of enlightenment a reader can take with a book. The written word is the light of inspiration that allows the reader to travel the across the universe. This sculpture is based on a wonderful literary tradition that has been carried down from the Middle Ages and Renaissance – that books are meant to preserve information and knowledge in a community.

- 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. - How does ArtParkS protect you?
From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS you are protected, because half is immediately used to pay the Artists deposit and the other half is retained till the sculpture is delivered safely’.
