Life of the Northwest — Welded steel
The interconnected squares, each unique in size and angle, symbolise the different paths that shape us.
Life of the Northwest reflects the journey of life through the lens of golf in the northwest of England. Like golf, life brings moments of triumph, adversity, and reflection. The open spaces within the sphere represent those we have loved and lost — absent, yet forever part of our story. Inspired by the region's landscapes and golfing heritage, the sculpture celebrates resilience, memory, community, and the enduring connections that define our lives.

About the Artist
A metal sculptor working from a small workshop in the northwest of England — turning raw steel into pieces built to be lived with.
He came to sculpture the long way round: years of welding and fabricating before making work of his own. It shows in the patience to spend a hundred hours coaxing a flat bar into a curve — hand-cut, hand-welded, finished by eye.
