Tower by Nigel Ash, Cotswold Stone, Signed, Unique, 58cms high by 24cms wide by 24cms deep, Geometric sculpture

Tower by Nigel Ash is a unique Cotswold stone sculpture measuring 58 cm high, 24 cm wide, and 24 cm deep. The piece depicts a stylized architectural tower, carved directly from natural stone, emphasizing both form and texture.

The tower rises in a short, thick shape that tapers to a pointed tip. Its surface is divided into distinct segments, each with its own pattern. The bottom segment remains flat and simple, grounding the piece. Above it, triangular shapes appear, carved with lines running across all sides. These triangles grow wider as the tower rises, giving the structure a sense of expansion and upward movement.

The patterns are geometric yet rhythmic, drawing the eye upward along the tower’s height. The natural colour of the Cotswold stone enhances the form, allowing the textures and carved lines to stand out without distraction. Light plays across the surface, emphasizing the depth of each carved detail.

Tower balances simplicity and intricacy. Its solid base, rhythmic patterns, and tapering tip convey stability and upward momentum. The piece captures the essence of architectural form while celebrating the natural beauty of stone. Each segment builds on the last, creating a sculpture that feels both grounded and aspirational.

This work exemplifies Ash’s skill in transforming raw material into structured elegance, combining the permanence of stone with the visual poetry of pattern and form.
