ABOUT FRESH AIR SCULPTURE

Set up by art collectors, Lucy and David Abel Smith, the first Fresh Air Sculpture was held in the Quenington Old Rectory gardens in 1992. Acclaim for the show’s originality and innovative mixture of traditional, modern and cutting-edge outdoor sculpture has grown year by year and Fresh Air Sculpture is now an established and much anticipated fixture in the art events calendar. Fresh Air Sculpture became a charitable trust, under Quenington Sculpture Trust, in 1997.

Sally Fawkes and Richard Jackson @jackson.fawkes have an extraordinarily strong connection with Fresh Air Sculpture and have exhibited beautiful glass pieces of work at every single show since 2001. They will also be joining us for Fresh Air Sculpture 2022.

We wanted to celebrate all this wonderful work so have created a visual diary where we look back at two decades of glass sculpture; Richard and Sally’s journey making sculpture for the outdoors and we explore each piece they have made for Fresh Air Sculpture over the years.

Inhale Exhale shown was exhibited at Fresh Air Sculpture in 2017.

We had a wonderful visit to Hereford College of Arts last week to see the Artist Blacksmithing Degree Show @herefordanvils.

The students had managed to complete their course and put on the show despite the pandemic disrupting much of the end of their second year and the start of their third year at college.

We were so impressed with so much of the work. 👏👏👏 Swipe left.

Steve Messam @rougeit is an environmental artist creating ephemeral site-specific installations which re-imagine the everyday, interrupting historical landscapes and vacant architecture to help us perceive the familiar in a new way.

Steve is creating something brilliant and site specific for Fresh Air Sculpture 2022, so we asked @lauren_cattle to catch up with Steve to find out his inspirations, his process, and the impact the pandemic has had on his practice.

A cheeky sneak peek of what’s to come at Fresh Air Sculpture 2022.

Posted @withregram • @sarahstrachan A busy week installing work. The nature of things (2018) was on its travels again, this time to Quenington in the beautiful Cotswolds for a photo shoot ahead of the @freshairsculpture show next year (5-26th June, 2022). The first time I’ve had my work photographed by @steverussellstudios using a drone. Thank you to Lucy and David Abel for such an amazing setting and welcome and curator Sarah McCabe.

We still have a few tickets left for our open gardens for the National Garden Scheme on 11 July, 2021.

There will be volunteers selling tea and cake in aid of local charity, Friends of Fairford and Lechlade Communities.

This particular charity normally runs a door-to-door fundraiser every year and hasn’t been able to for the 2nd year running due to Covid, so we are really keen to help them!

Please book your tickets via @nationalgardenscheme

We had a wonderful visit to Hauser & Wirth in Bruton, Somerset to visit the Eduardo Chillida exhibition.

One of the foremost Spanish sculptors of the twentieth century, Eduardo Chillida is widely celebrated for his monumental public sculptures and enduring fascination with interconnected shape, space and organic form.

The exhibition presents a significant body of sculptural works and drawings including large and medium-sized sculptures of granite, chamotte clay and iron shown here.

It's a brilliant show in gorgeous settings including the Piet Oudolf designed gardens.

..previously exhibited @freshairsculpture this outdoor piece came home to live with us, so glad on this occasion to keep one of our pieces for ourselves as it delights and inspires me every day, changing in the light as the sun travels across the sky.

I am working on a small number of new outdoor sculptures for September exhibitions.
