I’ve just returned from Mallorca to repair a garden sculpture I made in direct cement in 1996 in Buckfastleigh Devon! It was originally part of an exhibition at Stone Lane Gardens , Chagford ,Devon in that year.
New Owners
The buyers valued the work and it was moved with them each time they moved home 4 times at least in total .It now is in its last resting place in Cala San Vincente with new owners due to the house being sold last year.
The new owners,Fernando and family also loved the sculpture when they moved into the house and went to great lengths to locate its maker.
Thanks to social media once they had my name it wasn’t too difficult and I was delighted to be invited out to do the work.
Repair
On first inspection the age damage didn’t look too bad just a few cracks to fill, But on closer inspection from the work platform the cement had in places become very brittle it took 5 days to do the repairs .
Location
The position of the sculpture ,under very old fir trees and adjacent to the pool is really stunning. It was lovely to see the ‘Tree Spirits’ again after so many years a bit like seeing old friends !
I am very pleased I had the opportunity to go out to do this work and meet Fernando and his lovely family .
