Introducing Mackenzie Thorpe’s latest sculpture, inspired by the poignant image of the same name he created in 2020.
‘A Light In The Storm’, captures the essence of love, hope and resilience.
This thought provoking sculpture, transports viewers to a scene of reflection. Symbolism abounds... the couple sitting together at the edge of a slightly fragile jetty, cradling their shared love, around them hearts are carried along the water, the tide of time carrying love into the world.

Each heart is individually hand polished and meticulously crafted, venturing into territories new, Mackenzie has experimented with different coloured patinas, layering and layering until all the elements are unique.
Embark on this journey with Mackenzie and let his creation guide you to a place where hearts gleam,
‘A Light In The Storm’ reminds us that love can weather any storm and remain a constant guiding force.
storms subside, and love triumphs.
Each section of the sculpture has been carefully treated with the desired patina colour, layer by layer. This process required a keen eye and skillful application to achieve the desired depth and variation in colour. Mackenzie worked closely with the artisans, ensuring that the patinas aligned with his artistic vision. Every heart has been individually hand polished, further emphasising their significance and symbolic meaning.
This meticulous handwork added a personal touch to the sculpture and showcases Mackenzie’s dedication to his craft. The combination of the four different hue patinas, along with the hand-polished highlights and individually polished hearts, brings this sculpture to life, evoking a sense of depth, emotion, and beauty.

I wanted this sculpture to intertwine with the elements of nature and human emotion. A nod to lifes long journey, through hardship and loss there still remains hope and love.
