Bathing Woman

Taller than the person beside her, the figure lifts in a single polished sweep from a pool of steel spilling over her Corten plinth, the reflections of trees and sky running down her body like water. It is the moment of stepping from the bath, held in metal that seems still to be wet.

This work has sold. McLachlan can make a new figure by commission, at a scale to suit a garden, courtyard, foyer or waterfront, and the 1.15 m Bathing Woman is available now.

Hugh McLachlan
My sculpture is a response to changing states, where the sculpture, through the illusion of a highly polished surface, appears to flow, when in reality it is very hard stainless steel. The polished surface of the figure also wears the environment as a second skin, reflecting all the changes of light and sky in a dynamic way; nothing remains static.
