For the last three years we have had an exhibition of Zimbabwean stone sculptures in the Gardens at this time of year \u2013 this year we move closer to home with an exhibition of Stevenage wood sculptures.\u00a0 Those who know the Gardens will be familiar with Dennis Heath\u2019s work \u2013 whenever a tree dies we ask Dennis to transform its trunk into a permanent sculpture that somehow represents a Lytton family, or garden, story.\u00a0 Last year he transformed an upright cedar bough into a jousting knight, to represent my father\u2019s illustrious history on the Bank Holiday field of combat.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

This month, some 100 of Dennis\u2019 \u2013 and his colleague Dave Flemons\u2019 \u2013 sculptures will be on display throughout Knebworth House\u2019s 28 acres of formal Gardens.\u00a0 The pieces represent a wide range of figurative and abstract subjects, with woodland and wild animals a specialty.\u00a0 Many of the pieces will be for sale, including Dennis\u2019 popular carved seating and benches \u2013 perfect love seats for your summer garden.<\/p>\n

The artists work with a range of different sized chainsaws to create the work \u2013 including unusual \u201cmini\u201d chainsaws to fine-tune the subtleties of the carving.\u00a0 Demonstrations will take place at various times throughout the exhibition \u2013 full details will be on our website www.knebworthhouse.com.\u00a0 I am hoping that Dennis will have time to work on a new upright bough we have next to the tennis court.\u00a0 I envisage it becoming my grandmother, Hermione, pausing on her afternoon walk to watch her great-grandchildren playing happily on the same sunny court she and her brothers used to play on a century ago.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
