Ascent — bronze sculpture on a black base

A slender ribbon twists upward through several loose coils, growing narrower and lighter as it rises, until it opens into a free curl at the very top. The form is entirely abstract, reduced to one uninterrupted gesture — and despite the weight of the metal, it reads like a length of tape caught in a current of air. The sculpture is handmade: cast in bronze, then hand-worked, ground and finished to a soft satin gold sheen.

This is handcrafted work where the finishing is everything — each edge and each curve of the ribbon is smoothed individually, so the light travels across the surface in warm, gradual transitions and every piece retains its own character. The bronze is set on a rectangular base in deep black, which contrasts with the gold and emphasises the vertical drive of the composition. The sculpture looks striking on a console, sideboard, desk or in a lit display cabinet in a contemporary interior, and its imagery of growth, energy and upward momentum makes it a fitting gift for a promotion, a business launch, or an important personal achievement.
