Edge Sculpture right from its beginnings is a range of
contemporary statement pieces for the home and of course with that intention
many of the pieces are purposely large in scale. This was Matt Buckley’s
primary design goal when originally conceiving and sculpting the range,
utilizing such large proportions within his work to create pieces that have a bold
and visually striking appearance. This is certainly echoed by many subjects
that reside within both the past and present Edge Sculpture portfolio.
However, Matt has always enjoyed experimentation and over
the past few years has been considering just how he can present his work on a
smaller scale. Not to just sculpt smaller pieces but instead to explore the
possibilities of turning what is a very large piece into a flawless
miniaturised version of the original. The intention was to not only manufacture
the miniature using the very same marble based stone casting material but to
also paint the piece in the very same way as well.
Modern technological advances have most certainly aided
with this new adventure but Matt has had to make many small adjustments within
the pieces to make them both possible to make and yet retain a virtual
identical likeness to the much larger original sculpture.
We are very proud to announce that we are now finally ready
to launch this new collection with the introduction of six classic Edge
Sculpture Miniatures. This is very much the beginning of this series and Matt
has been looking at other subject’s that he considers would also work very well
with this innovative technique. Going forward we also have plans for creating
bespoke ways in which it would be possible to attractively display such a
collection.
All Edge Sculpture Miniatures will be presented in a matt
black lidded gift box adorned with a silver foil logo.
