Based in Canberra, Australia, the sculpture of 'Poppy Crossing' brings sheet metal to life. Inspired by natural motifs and print design, the artist Hayley Crossing began displaying her metallic masterpieces in just 2007 at an open garden.
Working to turn metal into organic garden accessories, mirrors and sculptures, 'Poppy Crossing' produces a range of delightful designs, including some on commission. As a registered landscape architect whose treasured hobby is flourishing, Hayley continues to develop new patterns and pieces.
