Tebbenhoff has recently been elected vice president of the Royal Society of Sculptors. She now lives and works in South London, in a converted church hall. Her father introduced her to cosmology - a strong influence in her work and life. She works with stone, ceramics, bronze and steel: chopping industrial angle sections into bits and welding differently angled pieces into boxes, which are freestanding or can hang off walls like giant birdboxes. This makes them appear human, vulnerable, chaotic, and even funny.

Tebbenhoff’s work represents the physical expression of a highly personal cosmology and demonstrates how sculptural form can show a yearning for our celestial bearings and place in the world.

Our Planting Scheme

A mixture of shade-tolerant plants delicately resting at the base of this sculpture helps to naturalise it into its surroundings. The movement shown in the sculpture is represented by the ever-changing woodland floor planting; it’s constantly resting in motion.
