Richard Taylor creates sculptural pieces and artefacts in carved oak and beaten copper. His imagery celebrates our mythic inheritance

Virtually all of his work is bespoke and unique although he does also produce a limited number of smaller high quality artefacts in short, hand crafted production runs. His work is primarily but not exclusively designed to be set in gardens, where pieces often function as fountains and waterspouts.  Sometimes they are animated by moving water.

Large and small commissions receive equal care and attention to detail and each piece is individually designed and created for its specific location and to fulfil the particular needs and expectations of clients. It is generally acknowledged that his work 

……. IS UNIQUE

One of the features that toured to various garden shows and special events during summer 2000.  Displayed is the still partially completed large scale Ouroboros Dragon. The tableau also features a smaller Ouroboros Dragon and a suit of armour for ‘The Green Knight.’  The helmet and partial armour was originally commissioned by the BBC for a film based on the epic medieval poem ‘Sir Gawain and the Green Knight.’   The full suit has since been completed and is designed to be set in the deep shade of a woodland and planted with living ivy

 

The same three sculptures were also centrepieces of an award winning feature show garden at BBC Gardeners’ World Live 2000.
