Seahorse Sculpture
Project: Seahores Sculpture for Belfast Royal Academical Institution
Commission date: July 2011
Client: Steven Whalley, Whalley Gallery Holywood, County Down
In May 2011 Mr Steven Whalley, of Whalley Gallery, Holywood, was successful in his bid to design and supply a piece of sculpture for Inst, taking inspiration from the school's logo. David Dudgeon and Steven Whalley have worked together in the past and this was a good opportunity for them to do so again.
Between them they designed a maquette approximately one-fifth scale, which was fabricated in DDS, and mounted on a piece of natural stone. When the project was given the go-ahead, a full scale piece was begun. The sculpture stands approximately 2.5 metres high, and is mounted on a piece of heavy-guage round-section steel. The foundations have already been poured and groundworks completed by Strong Construction.
We will add more pictures of this Project as it progresses.
