A Sculptor Defined by Scale and Material
At the core of Charles Elliott’s work is a commitment to large-scale sculpture.
Working primarily in:

His sculptures are created to sit within:
- Open landscapes
- Private estates

- Public spaces
Each piece is designed with scale in mind — not simply as an object, but as something that interacts with space, distance, and environment.
Over a Decade of Sculpture, Built by Hand
With more than 10 years dedicated to sculpture, Charles Elliott has built his practice through hands-on making and continuous development of craft.

This foundation has led to a sculptural approach that is:
- Material-led
- Physically crafted
- Focused on permanence and structure
Every sculpture is created through a process that prioritises form, balance, and longevity, ensuring each piece holds its presence over time.
