About the work
Three heads on long, swaying stems lean toward one another across the grass, two tall and one small, the smallest carrying a heart. Polished to a mirror, they take on the colours of the landscape around them, gold at sunset, grey under cloud.
Each figure stands 2 m on a small Corten plinth, light enough at 30 kg to place on a lawn, among planting or in a foyer. Three are pictured; there are seven variants, available individually or as a group.
About Hugh McLachlan
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.

The sculptures are a transformation – solid becomes liquid, static begins to flow. Flowing from one state to another, what is the reality? In a quantum physics world both states coexist in parallel realities.

McLachlan hand fabricates his figures in marine-grade 316 stainless steel and polishes them to a mirror. Two of his large stainless steel sculptures were selected for exhibition during the 2024 Venice Biennale.
