Arum Lily by Bill Prickett, Carved Laminated Beech, Unique, Signed, 153cm high by 39cm wide by 31cm deep, Garden, Flower sculpture

Arum Lily by Bill Prickett is a graceful tribute to nature’s quiet elegance, brought to life through masterful wood carving. Standing 153cm high, 39cm wide, and 31cm deep, this unique, signed sculpture transforms a single piece of wood into a blooming Arum Lily just as it unfurls.

The form rises tall and slender, its curves sweeping upward in a gentle spiral that mimics the soft opening of a lily’s petal. The tip bends slightly forward, capturing that fleeting moment when the flower reveals its heart to the sun. This sense of unfolding gives the piece a natural flow. The shape drawing the eye from the base to the delicately curling tip.

Throughout the surface, the natural wood grain swirls and dances across the sculpture. These patterns echo the organic lines of a real petal, adding depth and movement to the simple form. Subtle knots and rings in the wood remind you that this lily once lived as part of a larger tree, grounding its beauty in nature’s cycle.

Placed in a garden or a light-filled room, Arum Lily interacts with its surroundings. Sunlight warms the wood’s rich tones, while shadows deepen the curves and highlight its gentle twists.

Prickett’s careful shaping leaves the lily both strong and tender, capturing nature’s fragile beauty in a lasting form. The result feels timeless, an unfolding moment frozen forever in wood.
