“Shadow of the Dune” by Anne Curry is a striking large garden sculpture that captures the essence of resilience found in the contorted leaf of a thistle, which thrives in the sun-baked, wind-swept sand dunes of the Atlantic coast in France. Crafted from bronze resin, the sculpture reflects the harsh yet beautiful environment in which the thistle grows, with its twisted form mirroring the forces of nature that shape it. The intricate details of the leaf’s surface convey both strength and vulnerability, highlighting the adaptability of life in challenging conditions. This powerful piece was one of the sculptures exhibited at Kew Gardens in 2017, where it resonated with viewers as a testament to the tenacity of nature. “Shadow of the Dune” invites contemplation of the delicate balance between beauty and survival, reminding us of the remarkable stories that unfold in the natural world.

More about Anne Curry
- 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?
