Trilogy has settled well into its private protected woodland environment.
HAC fibrous cast cement is a remarkable material, strong, hard as ceramic, impervious to frost, cast in situ with minimal disturbance to the environment, and lichens are happy to grow on it!
Very happy with how it is weathering.

“Conjured up over the New Year and inspired by some natural shell forms that arrested my attention, later identified as the Aztec deity Quatzalcoatle or, to the ancient Mayan, Kukulkan.
Just in time for the Chinese New Year:
2025, the Year of the Snake. 🐍
All the best for this quarter century!”
– Nick Eames, Sculptor

September 2024 marks the centenary of the League of Nations recognition of Eglantyne Jebb’s Charter for Children, which ultimately became the UN Declaration of the Rights of the Child. To mark this momentous occasion, a special celebration event was held at Ellesmere Sculpture Garden on April 24th. The guest of honour was HRH Princess Anne.
As part of the day’s proceedings, Nick Eames greeted the Princess Royal at the site of his sculpture ‘The Sisters,’ and spoke with her about the sculpture, and the enduring legacy of Eglantyne Jebb and Dorothy Buxton.

‘The Sisters’
27/02/2022, written by Tim Johnson
Back to back
In the face of attack
We take the blows
The stones you throw
The insults to our face
Still standing strong
Speaking for those
Who conflict has misplaced
Side by side
We don’t stand alone
For the children who’ve died
Or still don’t have a home
Though we may bruise
And we may bleed
We choose
The hungry mouths to feed
We need no weapons
To serve as soldiers
Only words to reflect on
Both shoulder to shoulder
We may seem small
And the risks are grave
Through them all
We stand tall
There are children to save.

With the recent ‘Wolf Moon’ on the night of the 17th of January, these two mockups mark Nick’s tribute to this new beginning: ‘Reach’ holding the Wolf Moon in its palms, and ‘Howl,’ well, doing exactly what it says on the tin…
Stay tuned for more updates to come…

This is the 1:3 maguette of the sculpture ‘Desert Bloom,’ which Nick wishes to build full scale in the landscape – currently in progress at the Barn Studio.
Derived from the forms in a conch shell, Nick is filling out the structure of the original small wire maguette shown here:

The restoration of two mid 19th century Spelter figures: The Reaper (‘Left Handed Luke’) and The Sower (‘Nearly Headless Nick‘) is now complete, and the figures have been returned to their home in Kent, whole again.
The two figures are now fully restored, complete, and ready to return home!
