‘UMBRELLA' Garden Sculptures

‘UMBRELLA’ 2025
for Katy Terry, Good Grounding / ADHD Foundation
for the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025

'UMBRELLA' 2025
I was pleased to be invited to contribute to a Neurodiversity Garden by designer Katy Terry / Good Grounding which will be presented by the ADHD Foundation Neurodiversity Charity at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show 2025, before the garden will move to its permanent location at The University of Liverpool.
This project is sponsored by Project Giving Back, which supports gardens for good causes at the RHS Chelsea.
These umbrellas symbolise inclusivity, offering a delicate sense of comfort and protection. They also reflect the emblem of the ADHD Foundation's "Neurodiversity Umbrella Project.

Enquiry about this project

"Just as plants grow and adapt unexpectedly, people with neurodivergent minds thrive by doing things differently. The garden encourages visitors to "think differently about thinking differently" and to recognise that individuals with neurodiverse conditions may not always behave as expected—a reality that affects 1 in 5 people."

My sculptures have no palpable substance or surface. At first glance they appear to be a metallic membrane but when you take a closer look they are not even a skin - they are instead a delineation of surface and form, modelled and drawn in three-dimensional space.
