Seedhead (Medium) by Ruth Moilliet, Stainless steel, Edition of 15, 85cm high by 85cm wide by 85cm deep, Nature, Floral sculpture

Seedhead (Medium) by Ruth Moilliet is a striking stainless steel sculpture, measuring 85 centimetres in height, width, and depth. Inspired by the natural geometry of floral seedheads, this editioned piece out of 15 captures the fragile beauty of plant life through industrial material.

Crafted entirely from polished stainless steel, the sculpture radiates light from every angle. The spiky seedhead form is open and airy, yet bold in structure. Each point extends outward in a delicate burst, mimicking the star-like shapes found in nature. The symmetry feels both precise and organic, creating a balance between the natural world and modern craftsmanship.

Despite its metallic construction, Seedhead feels light and dynamic. The negative space between the spikes allows light and air to move through it, giving it an ever-changing presence depending on time of day and viewpoint. From a distance, it resembles a frozen moment of explosion, quiet, yet full of potential.

Up close, the details reveal the artist’s careful attention to form and proportion. The polished surfaces shimmer, creating reflections that shift with movement. This contrast between nature and industrial material invites reflection on growth, transformation, and the beauty in resilience.

Ideal for outdoor or indoor display, Seedhead (Medium) celebrates the complex elegance of flora, captured in a timeless, enduring form.
