KyOto Garden Art
Earlier this month Long Rake
Spar were delighted to donate
our premium 14mm Silver Grey
Granite to the Hortus non
Conculus garden exhibit at Tate
Britain coinciding with their
‘Barbara Hepworth: Sculpture
for a Modern World’ exhibition.
Designed by Rosie Irving and
co-designer Antonia Young,
the garden takes its inspiration
from the textile designs of
artist Barbara Hepworth and
highlights the different contexts
and spaces in which Hepworth
presented her work.

Silver Grey Granite was chosen
because of its white and
blacked flecked colouring
which emphasised the
monochromatic design that
Rosie created, as well the
texture it provided in contrast
to the smooth cast limestone
planters from Haddonstone.
The aggregate was placed in
a floor stabilisation system,
supplied by Kinley Systems, to
ensure the gravel stayed within
the design and was easy for
visitors to walk on. The Silver
Grey was chosen in a 14mm size
to fit effectively in the retaining
grids and to allow access for
wheelchair users.
Hortus non Conculus will remain
in-situ outside Tate Britain until
2nd September 2015.
