Tabletop sculpture in polished bronze referencing the form of a treble clef
About the Item
The 'Treble Clef' sculpture by British designer-maker, Tom Vaughan, is part of a series of work tracing three-dimensional paths of movement through a solid, functional form, in which the artist pushes both material and process to its limit. Made in polished bronze with a scorched Shou Sugi Ban plinth, it has a powerful presence. It is an edition of ten. People are mesmerised by the way Vaughan manipulates timber and metals into these sculptural organic forms.
Tom Vaughan, founder of Object Studio, and his team of specialist craftspeople take on ambitious commissions for galleries, public institutions and private clients, including the fabrication of complex three-dimensional structures in woods, metals and synthetics. An artist-maker who trained in Cabinet Making at London Guildhall University and in Three-dimensional Design at Brighton University, Vaughan took a Masters in Contemporary Product Design at the Royal College of Art under the tutelage of Ron Arad (he himself is now a visiting lecturer at the RCA). He founded Object Studio in London as a workshop for making, a laboratory for experimentation, and the meeting point of traditional craft with modern processes, describing his process as "making three-dimensional brush strokes."
Helen Chislett Gallery represents artists, sculptors and makers across all disciplines.

- Unique bronze tabletop sculpture based on forms made by folding pleated paperBy Thomas Joynes (British)Located in London, GB'Coalesce' by British sculptor Thomas Joynes follows a range of works that the artist developed from exploring paper folding and pleating. After coming across the paper works of British artist, Richard Sweeney, Joynes fell in love with the fluid nature and organic forms that could be achieved by cutting, folding and pleating pieces of paper. After folding, the sheet of paper can be cut and then slowly bent and manipulated to create the desired form. The process is long and demands patience, but is very rewarding artistically. Once Joynes had achieved the desired folded paper form, he then spent weeks applying wax and building up a consistently thick layer all over the form. The most time-consuming part of the process was smoothing off the wax to achieve a satisfying finish and create a mould using the ancient technique of lost-wax casting, which in turn made it possible to create the form in bronze. While most suited for interior display, Coalesce can be displayed outside if care is taken to maintain the patina finish. It is presented on a polished, black granite pedestal. Thomas Joynes first discovered his love of making as a boy when he explored the woodlands of rural Essex in England, using his hands to craft bows and arrows - and tree houses. During his Foundation course, he was drawn to working with Plaster of Paris – casting, moulding and carving large solid blocks of it. His work is clearly influenced by 20th-century masters, such as Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, Constantin Brancusi, Jean Arp and Naum Gabo, but to these he brings his own sense of movement and dynamism. Major projects include public art commissions, such as a three-metre high bronze sculpture for a Metro station in Hong Kong. Functional sculpture projects include a set of bespoke gates and a three-metre wide, wall-hung, contemporary sundial. Most usually his work is commissioned for outside locations, such as gardens, courtyards and landscapes but increasingly he has turned his attention towards work that sits happily within an interiors scheme, using finishes such as polished bronze and 24ct gold gilding.

- Tabletop sculpture in brushed brass inspired by proportions of the Golden RatioBy Thomas Joynes (British)Located in London, GB'Aurora' by British sculptor Thomas Joynes is based on the Golden Ratio, with perfectly proportioned flowing curves. The original concept was developed as part of a commission for The Crown Estate in London, where it was displayed in a foyer with a tall, narrow window to the street. This version has been made from brushed brass and set on a granite plinth (25x25x5cm).
