Many of David Annand's sculptures are not just about creating a sense of place, but have become the place - that is street furniture and art that people can walk into and use.
People establish a relationship with the sculpture through familiarity, and a subliminal bond occurs. The relationship moves from the practical to the aesthetic by quiet engagement, rather than through confrontation. Many of the sculptures have poems commissioned and engraved on them.
David Annand's back-up team consists of three companies.
Powderhall Bronze in Edinburgh is the most experienced bronze foundry in Scotland and have worked with David since 1988.
CAM Welding & Fabrications, based in Fife, is a specialist in stainless steel. The company is expert in the sensitive handling of large pieces.
More recently David has been working with the digital light company Gobbsmak Lighting Design Ltd, adding a further dimension to the sculpture.
