One New Ludgate

Nika Neelova, London

For the award-winning art programme at One New Ludgate in London, we were approached by artist Nika Neelova to support the production of a large-scale public art commission that forms the central feature of the development's foyer. Working closely with the artist we produced fabrication and installation designs in preparation for production.

For 'A Vane A Feather A Blade A Sickle A Curve An Edge A Crescent An Oar' over one thousand cast resin pieces were shaped and finished by hand in our workshop. In addition, forty aluminium, brass and copper rods were machined using our lathe and drill press to form the central structure to which the resin ‘petals’ were attached. 

“Gavin and the team have always delivered an exceptionally high quality of work. They come up with unique solutions and approaches to various projects from the most challenging and ambitious large sculptures to the very small and simple everyday designs. They are all very approachable, very knowledgeable in different techniques and materials, and always keen to experiment.”
