Passiflora Caerulea Cupola : This image was originally commissioned by the Cupola Gallery in Sheffield in November 2004 for permanent external installation in their courtyard / sculpture garden. It is 15 ft high x 8 ft wide on vinyl.
 

Plant-based images are perfect for space-limited urban exteriors with very little in the way of a garden, or for walled gardens, courtyards, patios and outbuildings. From very large life-size trailing plants to delicate orchids, we can create artworks to order to any size based on any species we are able to photograph on new generation vinyls, high pressure laminates, or specially treated, boxed canvas. ings etc.

On a different scale, a 'rusticated' piece like 'All That Jazz' (see 'musical'), for example, could be created based on any subject matter you like, and made up to 300 metres wide on an external wall (if you could find one big enough) – using new generation vinyl or exterior grade high-pressure laminates. It just takes a little imagination.

Exterior design will soon be as familiar as interior design, and many companies and public bodies already appreciate the value and the impact that large-scale artworks in public (and private) spaces can have.

   

Because I work with such high resolution images (files of over 1gb routinely), and the continuing development of new printing processes and materials, I can create durable, weather-resistant artworks for external installation that work close-up as well as from a distance.

Pieces 5 metres along the shortest side are straightforward to produce. My first was a piece commissioned by the Cupola Gallery in Sheffield (a wet and windy city in the north of England) to hang on a very exposed wall in their courtyard / sculpture garden. I have also hung an enormous version of 'Large Pineapple' (see 'fruit') in a monkey puzzle tree in a Victorian park.

 
 
Someone really did ask us to hang this large pineapple in their private garden.
