The natural world is a source of inspiration for many artists, and
William Pye's observations of natural forms, combined with his creative
use of geometry, lie at the heart of his sculptures. Although brought up
in London, Pye spent a lot of time at his family's country home in
Surrey, and was constantly fascinated by the water that abounded
throughout the area. He captured on camera the local ponds and pools,
reflections in still water and on its rippled surfaces, he dammed
streams to make cascades and recorded the way water reacted to his
intervention. On his travels he would photograph water: a particular
gorge in Spain, a still, deep pool on a mountaintop in Mexico and water
flowing down a mountain road in Wales are only three examples from his
vast photographic library. Pye has used his reference material
constantly: since his stainless steel sculptures, and from the 1980s
when he introduced water as a major sculptural element in his work.
