The sculptures have strong visual impact and range from abstract pieces to representational work. They have a similar minimal aesthetic, having clean lines and pay particular attention to form and space. Artists that have had a strong influence on Moorhouse’s work include Caro, Brancusi, Gonzales and Chillida.
The sculptures are made from various types of steel and are finished to a high standard to provide durability outdoors. The works produced cover a range of sizes to suit various locations.
Work can be ordered from the portfolio with most of the sculpture being produced in limited editions of either 3 or 8. Commissions for new work are also undertaken for public art works and for private clients.
