Wild Edge Sculptures at Holme

We're delighted to host Wild Edge Sculptures here at Holme for the coming season. keep your eyes out for these elegant, majestic statues placed thoughtfully around the gardens.

"The journey behind Wild Edge Sculptures has always been rooted in the transformative power of making. Founded by artist Ian, our story began at a deeply personal crossroads, when his grandfather passed away and left him a cherished box of tools. Rather than letting his heritage lie dormant, Ian honoured it by crafting those very tools into a commemorative sculpture, a horse head. This first act of creation marked the origin of a path defined by memory, meticulous craftsmanship, and enduring purpose.

This initial spark ignited a deeper artistic exploration. Ian began constructing intricate robots and hand-crafted Transformer characters from salvaged metal, blending a childhood fascination with movement and a designer’s eye for form. What began as a creative hobby evolved into a profound dialogue with metal itself. Through relentless hands-on experimentation, his background in design engineering seamlessly merged with an emerging artistic vision, refining raw, dynamic scrap art into the elegant, fluid sculptures that define the Wild Edge aesthetic today.

That evolution from personal tribute to recognised artistry led to features on platforms like the Discovery Channel's Scrap Kings. Today, this foundational story of transformation continues to guide every commission. We believe the most powerful art emerges where technical precision meets emotional resonance, transforming reclaimed materials and personal histories into timeless sculptural statements. Each piece Ian creates carries forward that original ethos: to honour legacy, capture dynamic spirit, and create with purposeful beauty."
