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 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’.
Insurance in transit should be arranged with the artist prior to ordering. - Why buy on ArtParkS?
When you choose a Work of Art from ArtParkS you have the confidence that the work has been selected by ArtParkS’s selectors and will be despatched direct from the Artist‘s studio or Foundry only after it has been scrutinised by their quality control process.
