Conserving natural beauty
The cacti sculptures while incredibly lifelike will be surrounded by lush living plants styled by Conservatory Archives. The Cactus House presents a collection of marble and alabaster sculptures which are suited to interior spaces and are all available to buy.
As a sculptor, Russell bridges the gap between artist and craftsman, this is reflected in his delicately rendered organic forms carved out of alabaster, onyx and portland limestone. A trained stone carver with a background in conservation and ornate sculptural commissions, Russell is bringing his artisan skills to create these new pieces in his first solo exhibition with Hignell Gallery.
