Heather Burrell

Iridescent Blue
2008

This sculpture was made for Deptford Park and whilst abstract in form it is reflective of asparagus that was grown in abundance in this area of London.
It stands at 3 m high and is set on a base 1.36 m diameter.
The iridescent finish was created by applying several layers of pearlescent paint and lacquer.

Mayfair Balustrade
2007

The concept of this balustrade is based on the original style of the building. Constructed during the 1920s, it was appropriate to incorporate an art deco balustrade in order to retain the character of the property. This project was a huge undertaking with the balustrade spanning over 13 floors and also included furniture, balconies, monumental bronze fireplace and other steel details around the property. All of which was handcrafted to high specifications. The project took nine months to complete with each aspect carefully planned to fit in with other contractors on site.

Heather was commissioned by Transport for London to create and build a sculpture as part of the Tour de France event celebrations. The site of the Rotherhithe roundabout was chosen as a key location on the Tour De France route and Heather put forward a number of ideas to mark the cycling race and acknowledge the importance of 'green' travel in London. Constructed with over 300 metal leaves, Leaf Cycle measures 3m high x 3m long and is strikingly visible with a silver galvanized finish.

Mountsfield Park Gates
2004

The concept of the gates came from the removal of a sycamore tree to widen this entrance to the park.Historically, the grounds were owned by an entomologist, hence the hand forged sycamore seeds were arranged to resemble butterfly wings.
There are a further 36 m of railing that extend into the park which were included in this project.
