Endurance III, 2024, cast steel on stone base, 1600mm x 600mm x 600mm.

Sanderson presents Evolve by Ray Haydon.

Haydon is an artist and sculptor with a career spanning more than twenty years. Responding intuitively to space, the artist creates works of refinement and precision. His pieces retain a lyricism and freedom of line that evoke a sense of movement and velocity, as well as celebrate the technical process that goes into their making.

This exhibition presents a new style of work – titled ‘Drift’ and crafted by the artist’s hand from white oak the artwork undulates across the wall in mesmerising motion, like leaves moving in the wind across a forest floor or waves slowly moving over the top of one another.

As well as this, Haydon presents a new suite of ribbon works in walnut and oak, and a new large-scale relief – a continuation of his Voyage series. Sitting proud from the wall this artwork loops and weaves in a graceful dance and beautiful autumnal hues. Other works include three standing sculptures nestled in stone bases, in three unique forms: a bronze with delicate fluid lines, a cast steel work in tubular form with the same autumnal hues as the wall based Voyage work, and a corten steel piece that winds and twists in an intricate infinite loop. Each of these works have been made to respond to the environment and the outdoors – to gradually weather over time, changing beautifully in tone to deep shades of crimson and brown.
