She adds that it’s just as important to consider a sculpture’s ability to draw the eye to a focal point. “Identify the main landmarks in your garden, such as a pond, pool or slope. for example, place a sculpture made of highly reflective material near a water source to maximize effect and create unexpected reflections all over the garden. And, if placing more than one piece, start with the largest masterpiece first,” she recommends. When it comes to a figure, consider where its gaze will fall—it should meet the sightline of visitors entering and make eye contact.
