81 Jeremy Wyatt Circle of leaves

Jeremy Wyatt

For 25 years I’ve been making make colourful contemporary sculpture and jewellery from titanium, niobium and other materials, often on commission to celebrate family or corporate events. My brightly patterned titanium moths flew at the Glasgow COP-26 conference as part of the “Moths to a flame” exhibition. As an elected member of the Surrey Guild of Craftsmen and Association of Contemporary Jewellery, I’ve taught at Art College and exhibited with Marlborough Open Studios and other organisations.  Lockdown gave me time to experiment with new ways to bring light and colour into people’s lives. I developed a new style of indoor sculpture with an array of square or circular Perspex columns – some reminiscent of skyscrapers – lit by hidden LED strips, giving an illusion of slow-changing, suspended patches of colour. The colours, speed and pattern in some sculptures can be changed using a smartphone app. My recent outdoor sculptures use clear and tinted Perspex rods penetrating stone monoliths or wooden totems to focus skylight into bright, colourful combinations of geometric or organic shapes, which change slowly as the sun’s colour and position shifts from dawn to dusk. I also trapped a segment of rainbow in a machined aluminium structure, focusing it somehow through a circle of slate disks.

I do hope you enjoy these pieces as much as I enjoy making them, and would be delighted to work with you to create a whimsical or minimalist one-off piece that brings more light and colour into your life.
