Blue Ring
Blue Ring began as a living work – a circle of bluebells on the hillside at Cae'n-y-Coed in Wales. In his exhibition at Kew Gardens, Nash represents this work through a series of drawings and a ring of bluebell seeds.

Crossed Egg
The original from which this bronze has been cast was solid wood and the cross shapes were carved into the form. Bronze casts are hollow and Nash realised that he had an opportunity to use this hollowness, the crosses being cut through the shell to accentuate the three dimensional dynamic.

Seed represents a contained ball of potential. Perhaps a seedling, ready to sprout, to push through seams upwards toward the light and downwards into the earth.
