"Rich Pickings". Style Magazine: 20. Also removal of the image Sidney's oak tree table – bronze and glass Why it should be changed:It should be removed as the sentence is not relevant and could be seen as advertising. Removal of the image Sidney's oak tree table – bronze and glass as there are already too many images on the page.

What I think should be changed: In the second paragraph of Biography, the sentence: During this period he worked mainly within the sphere of furniture and interior design, but then turned his attention to sculpture, setting up a foundry in his studio and thus began casting his own bronzes. Should be changes to: Reed casts all of his bronze sculpture himself in his studio.

Why it should be changed: The sentence is overlong, and the factual citation from [1] refers only to the fact that Reed casts his own bronzes in studio. References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button): Hannahlucy100 (talk) 15:17, 19 April 2023 (UTC)

Mark Reed (born 23 March 1971) is a British sculptor based in East Anglia. He works primarily in metal – bronze, mild and stainless steel and aluminium, his themes include nature and his place within it, science, the environment, family and the passage of time.[1]

Biography Born in Colchester, he spent his early years in Suffolk, relocating with his family to a Fruit Farm in rural Norfolk in his teens. The trees in the orchards he once pruned and shaped have inspired much of Reed's sculpture and furniture.[2] Mark studied Engineering at the University of Wales.

Leaf Chair- Aluminium Reed launched his nature inspired range of furniture in 1999 at Decorex, London[3] and it was at this time that Derek Pullen, Head of Sculpture Conservation, Tate Collections described Reed's Leaf Chair in cast aluminium as "a very well resolved and elegant design." In 2002 Mark made Penshurst Dining Table for Fortnum & Mason, London.[4] During this period he worked mainly within the sphere of furniture and interior design, but then turned his attention to sculpture, setting up a foundry in his studio and thus began casting his own bronzes.[5] His initial sculptures explored his fascination with nature and he quickly became known for his tree sculptures in forged steel, the individual branches are heated in the forge and then tapered on the anvil, so the fluid shape of the tree begins to 'grow'. On the birth of his first son in 2004 Reed's own experiences of family life led to a new direction in his work, with his fork and spoon sculptures in stainless steel.[6] In 2004 he worked on his first public commission- Bronze and Cast Iron Tree Planters for The Prince's Trust and the City of London, unveiled by the Lord Mayor of the City.

Sidney's oak tree table – bronze and glass In 2005, Reed lost his daughter to cot death and his struggle to deal with her loss created Salvation, which is both a teardrop, where tears are the overflow for raging internal emotions and a droplet of rain or dew which is vital for the existence of life. Mark regularly uses recycled materials where possible and was actively involved in the Creative partnership Initiative, working with local primary schools to engage and discuss in the creative process that evolved into his Spaceship (2011) sculpture and Spoon Seesaw 2012. Mark's work including tree tables, monumental trees, stainless steel spoon sculpture and his Giant Stainless Steel Fork with etched signature to the rear 'Mark Reed VI', also 'Catherine de'Medici 1564' and 'STAINLESS STEEL', set into a weighted base has been auctioned at 'Out of the Ordinary' Christie's, London. The 'Catherine de Medici 1564' inscription was a unique feature to this fork. Catherine de Medici was very important to the introduction of the fork to French High Society, making it a socially acceptable part of dining etiquette. In 1564 on her 'Grand Tour de France' she spent two years travelling across France with the aim of unifying her Kingdom and thus spreading the use of the fork across the land. The fork was made of 316 marine grade solid stainless steel and cast in Sheffield, the City of cutlery, birthplace and childhood home of Reed's father.[7]

Giant Stainless Steel Fork sculpture inscribed Catherine de Medici 1564 and stainless steel by Mark Reed In December 2015 Reed delivered his Arbour Metallum monumental tree sculpture measuring 3.5m tall and 3m wide and weighting 1 tonne, on an epic 2,500-mile journey to Athens, Greece on a trailer behind his 1989 VW camper van. The steel tree with over 1000 stainless steel leaves had been commissioned by the Coupelouzos Family Art Museum and Reed's sculpture travelled through France, the Mont Blanc tunnel, Switzerland and Italy to the Greek city.[8][9]

He currently lives with his wife and four boys near Swaffham in Norfolk.

Salvation Sculpture – Stainless Steel Sculpture

Life Leaf- Bronze

Ammonite Slice – Bronze & gold sculpture with verdigris patination Reed's sculptures have nature and his place within it at its roots, with his education in engineering and biology, he is interested in the workings of natural structures and the way they contribute to the artistic view of a plant or animal. With this knowledge, within Mark's work, trees become tables, and natural forms are channelled to become functional items in bronze, aluminium or forged steel. Mark is intrigued by intangible configurations as well, particularly in how an entity exists as an component in a hierarchy of cooperatives. In his bronze Life Leaf(2000) a solitary leaf is the "life giver", it gives energy to the entire tree, whilst being recycled into the organism. The rooks in Secret Garden Door are a group descending on the tree with giant spring nests, and therefore indicating the death of winter and new life for a tree. Meanwhile, there is a looking forward momentum in Reed's work, the door opens into the future or the viewers' imagination, the eroded holes within the leaf allow shards of life to permeate through.

Secret Garden Door Reed's 4.5m x 3.5m forged and stainless steel Arbour Metallum tree sculpture, (inspired by the windswept trees in his native North Norfolk Coast), was unveiled at Chelsea Flower Show and was exhibited at the Royal Horticultural Society gardens at Wisley in 2013. He sees it as "a protector, from the heat of the sun, creating a dappled shade, as nature protects and nourishes us."[10] Reed's family and children influence his other work -whilst Mark was feeding his baby, the unassuming spoon suddenly became massively significant, as a means of giving sustenance and independence. The same tool can be alienating as well as vital, as in an infant's hands, an adult spoon is huge and out of place. So the stainless steel Spoon Bench (2004) was conceived, at odds with its place and size, and as if levitating. In August 2013, Reed made a Spoon Sculpture to public commission for a hospital in Welwyn, Herts and in July 2013, he was commissioned to make A Bridge to Success for the Prince of Wales and The Prince's Trust at Sandringham Flower Show. Mark has produced many commissions and his work can be found in collections in four continents.[11][third-party source needed]

In 2010, Reed created Ammonite Slice, inspired by a visit to the Natural History Museum in London and the juxtaposition of nature and the mathematical fractal spiral inside an ammonite shell. He is fascinated by the contrasts of the alien and familiar & the alliance of science and nature.
