The Boulders

Dukes Sandstone / Cadeby quarry

BOULDERS

And so to Cadeby quarry in Yorkshire; a quarry close to our final Rotherham garden rebuild with a view to sourcing 3 or 4 feature sandstones to embody the gnarled ‘existing landscape’ narrative of our Chelsea garden. Measuring over 2m in some cases, these pieces have an aged patina to them. In their raw state they exhibit strong red/ lilac hints which soften with age.

These will associate tonally with our ‘Abstracted Lung’ sculpture' and offer a welcome gritty edge to our colour palette. One will be positioned as a perch bench, the others will rest in conversation with one of our character Pine trees, beneath which additional exposed rubble forms the local mulch.

Dan, our intrepid contractor en route to Cadeby, noticed some road works with a pile of Rotherham red rubble about to be removed. Dan being Dan, flashed a smile and before long negotiated 12 tonne to be delivered to his yard, gratis.

…..that kind of a man!
