About the Artwork

Big Angular Colourful Modern Abstract Interaction Contemporary Statue. For Outside in the Urban Landscape.

By the Bold American Sculptress Deedee Morrison who writes…..
“May Charms was installed in July for the Midwest Sculpture Initiative Exhibition. The sculpture is dramatically placed in Canton main shopping district, an area that receives heavy pedestrian traffic, allowing viewers to interact and engage with the sculpture.”
In works such as May Charms, a sculpture with a strong angular shape and intricately cutout overlays, it is easy to define the theme of Morrisonʼs work contrasts. Speaking to the dualities of mechanical and organic, masculine and feminine, light and dark, strength and weakness, this particular artwork gives a sensation of diverging ideas bound by dissimilarity ? an idea rampant in many of Morrisonʼs sculptures.

Artist Comment

With every sculpture, the artist begins with heavy industrial metal and utilizes a recent development in the metal industry - laser cutting - to introduce light and and a sense weightlessness into the piece. Working from her studio on-site at the Wade Sand and Gravel quarry in the industrial district or Birmingham, Alabama, Morrison is obviously inspired by her surroundings to create large objects fit for harsh environments. Yet a desire to convey seemingly impossible contrasts gives a soft touch to the work as feminine lace-like patterns are ubiquitously repeated in much of her recent art. The luminary glow peeking out through these cutouts adds another layer of interest, purposefully inviting viewers to witness the sculpture both in day and night.

  • 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.
