BARRY MASON

Barry Mason - Sculpture with water and light using a wide range of old and new technologies. Materials range from stone to stainless steel. Methods range from stone carving by hand to CAD guided laser cutting - Royal Society of British Sculptors... At the end of the decade Mason was shortlisted for a major watersculpture project in Birmingham. Although not winning the competition, the experience of experimenting with water and stone took his work in a new direction. Indeed for most of the 90's water became a primary element and the range of materials used expanded to include copper, bronze and stainless steel. There were also design collaborations with architects, landscape architects and structural engineers, which led to a series of realised and unrealised projects. Sculptures shown in award winning gardens at Chelsea Flower Show led to a series of national and international commissions which are ongoing. Public commissions have included "Half Moon" for Eton College and "Vessica"..
