Napoleon Garden, Holland Park is the location of a new three-year collaboration between the Royal Borough of Kensington and Cheslea and the Royal British Society of Sculptors to celebrate the work of women sculptors. For 2012, the invited sculptor is Diane Maclean, who will exhibit a work titled, Place of Reflection. The sculpture is formed of a circle of five slim columns of polished stainless steel that have a space in between for people and wildlife to enter an inner sanctum. Set at different angles from one another, each of the columns has four facets, creating multiple refelctions of the surrounding garden, sky and of people and wildlife visiting the garden. Acting both as a mirror surface and as a place of reflection. A smaller sculpture, Preen, together with new photographic works, will be on show in the Ice House adjacent to Napoleon Garden for a short period. Diane Maclean is a Fellow member of the Royal British Society of Sculptors and has exhibited her work widely in the UK and abroad and completed many public sculpture commissions including ‘Mountain’ at the Natural History Museum in 2005.
