Urn

2013

About the Item

Davies designed this urn by drawing on extensive research culminating in adopting classical elements from Graeco-Roman antiquity. It's elegant shape is subtly embellished with a Roman laurel wreath and crossed ribbons tied over a reed base. It's proportions are aesthetically correct and pleasing to the eye. Although the urn in the images this listing is to be cast in bronze and can be patinated to the buyer's taste and practically used to support a small tree, indeed Davies himself has one supporting a lemon tree in a garden conservatory.

  • Nautilus
    Located in Oswestry, GB
    The Nautilus shell is an excellent example of mathematics inherent within lifeforms of the natural world. As Davies consistently uses the 'golden ratio' (1:1.618) to proportion his work, he thought it important to exemplify this in his subject matter. The Fibonacci sequence (where each number is the sum of the two preceding numbers) and the logarithmic spiral are also inherent here. The bronze shell is mounted on a black granite base in a way that creates an optical illusion suggesting it is levitating above the base. This bronze Nautilus...
