This is to announce the sad news that Woody passed away peacefully on the morning of 18 May 2025 to the sound of gentle rain and early birdsong, both sounds that he dearly loves. For now, the sculpture garden stands at Waimangaroa, Bev is still operating the Scullery onsite and a very few last pieces of jewellery are for sale (cash sales only). If you are able and want to - this is a last chance to wander through the gardens and wonder at the vision and genius of Woody. Messages for loved ones can be left as comments. Thank you.

this is pan the horned god ,playing his flute and trying to seduce the beautifull syrinx(water nymph ),he has no luck with his seduction as after her dance she dissapears into the lake and turns herself into a slender reed ,as pan the goat man looks amongst the reeds for her he hears the wind blowing across the tops of the reeds and making an eerie tune so he gathers some of the reeds and ties them to a branch ,creating the first pan pipe which he plays over the lake in the hope he can attract syrinx back to dance on the shore
two sculptures made to go together ,cast in bronze on a base of fiddleback eyuclptus ,approx 30 cm
