Sky Trees ('Gold' stainless steel), 2025 is a sculpture from the 'The Standing Series' by contemporary sculptor Charles Haynes, with an edition of 9. Its made from the material stainless steel, titanium electroplated in gold. This is a limited-edition sculpture and can be commissioned upon request for larger scaled works.

 

Sky Trees explores the relationship between the sculptural canopy of trees and the infinite expanse of the sky. Inspired by his home landscape, CH draws specifically on Willie Howe Barrow,  a Neolithic round mound topped with trees, creating a work that bridges ancient landforms with contemporary sculptural expression.

 

The creation of Sky Trees began with hands-on experimentation, using everyday materials to prototype the form. Developing into a scaled plastiline model, then refined through a detailed digital illustration,  bridging traditional sculpting techniques with modern design processes.

 

The final piece features a highly polished mirrored surface, both visually captivating and technically complex. CH use of finish invites  the viewer into the work, encouraging them to see themselves reflected in it and fostering a deeper connection with nature.

Achieving this flawless finish requires an intricate, time-intensive process through polishing, showcasing the exceptional craftsmanship behind the work.

 

The first edition is being produced. Other editions will be produced upon receipt of payment, with an estimated lead time of 8–12 weeks. Limited edition coloured pieces are also available.
