Public Realm
Clare Bigger’s large exterior corporate sculpture is a real celebration of her work. It is very exciting on this scale and her artistic style suits the size of the sculptures.
All are made of stainless steel which makes them very resistant to the weather and also fairly vandal proof. Many companies have commissioned one of Clares’ large exterior sculptures to enhance retail parks and new/old office centres. Companies such as Birmingham Midshires Building Society, Akeler and Gazeley Properties are among her clients.

‘Very inspiring’
Energise, Harlow LeisureZone in Harlow by Clare Bigger
“The sculpture is a beautiful and perfect depiction of an exercising woman, made up of metal ribbons resembling the woman’s muscles. It reminds me of textbook anatomy pictures of the muscles of the body, which is so appropriate for the sculpture’s setting, yet it does so without looking gruesome. It’s a very inspiring piece for a public sports centre.” - Jon Broughton, 50, patent attorney, Bishops Stortford
