A very dynamic form that works in a magical way as a light and is also beautiful and very different from every angle. It is amazingly made completely from one piece of wood with no glue or joints. The solid wood has been steam-bent into an unusual `swan shape`, which is then unleashed to create the final form, and stem was twisted 90 degrees, and the legs all individually bent ? all in under 45 seconds! The resulting finishing and final assembly is all expertly done by hand, and each `Issy light` is individual and has its own unique character and presence. The name? As I made the first prototype of this light – it quickly became clear that I had somehow manifested our friend and Office Project Manager called Issy into the form of this sculpture/light… I am not sure why, but anyone who knows her can see the likeness.

- The ArtParkS Guarantee
All the sculptures on the website are described by the artists themselves, stating the material they are made from and their dimensions. If they are stated to be suitable for outdoors, they have a guarantee 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 acquire a green patina, usually rather sought after. All can attract moss, lichen, and a greenish 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 guarantee.
Organic material like wood and bark willow is variable and depends to a great extent on where it is sited. You should discuss any guarantee directly with the artist, as this too falls outside our guarantee.
- How Does ArtParkS Ensure Your Protection?
From the moment you place an order and pay ArtParkS, you are protected because half of the payment is immediately used to pay the artist’s deposit, while the other half is retained until the sculpture is delivered safely.
Insurance in transit should be arranged with the artist prior to ordering.
- Why Choose ArtParkS for Your Purchase?
When you choose a work of art from ArtParkS, you can be confident that it has been selected by ArtParkS’s curators and will be dispatched directly from the artist’s studio or foundry only after passing their quality control process.
- How to Purchase from ArtParkS
You can either speak with or correspond with Peter at ArtParkS before placing an order, or simply click the Buy Nowbutton and follow the instructions, adding the delivery charge unless the artist is offering free delivery.
Payment can be made by Direct Debit, cheque, credit or debit card, or PayPal, though we try to avoid the latter as we have to pass on their 5% fee to you.
- Where Can Your Order Be Delivered?
Your sculpture can be delivered anywhere in the world, provided a delivery vehicle can gain access. For special arrangements, contact Peter at peter@artparks.co.uk or +44(0)1481 235571.
