TWIST:LAUNCHING 2025

A major new landmark Installation has been commissioned for Wellesbourne development in Brighton.

Visible from the A23 as you enter Brighton, the installation is processional, so that members of the public will experience a striking minimal column sequentially twisting as they walk or drive past, with the metal in the central section of these massive structures appearing to be stretched like chewing gum.As well as making a reference to the architecture and monolithic coastal structures, the subtle twisting forms of the sculptures make a nod to natures’ ability to adapt. They will act like vertical structures such as shoots, celebrating growth and new life.

The Corten steel from which they are made will give the artwork an earthy, iridescent quality that ties in with its natural surroundings. Working with landscape designer Nicholas Dexter, the artwork is designed to work in harmony with the landscaping on Preston Road. By integrating art into the environment in such a way, the green corridor in front of The Wellesbourne becomes an experience that engages passers by, enhancing their appreciation of nature and art.

Twist is made in collaboration with an entirely Sussex based team including Nicholas Dexter Landscape Design, ArcFab Sussex, Sussex Blast and Gap Metal.
