“The Keeper of the Place” by Anne Curry is a compelling outdoor sculpture that embodies the enduring presence of nature in historical landscapes. Cast in bronze resin, the sculpture portrays a twisted wild horseradish leaf, symbolising resilience and continuity. Found along an ancient footpath, this leaf hints at the existence of a long-lost settlement, quietly bearing witness to a forgotten past. The sculpture’s dynamic form, with its twisted curves and intricate textures, suggests the passage of time and the survival of nature even as human traces fade. As “The Keeper of the Place,” the horseradish leaf serves as a living relic of history, rooted in the landscape and guarding the memory of a bygone era. This piece connects the viewer to both the beauty and the enduring power of nature’s presence in old, forgotten places.

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?
