Steuart Padwick and Natalie May Films

In 2014, artist and designer Steuart Padwick attended a studio residency on an island off Maine in the USA.  During this time, Padwick created a very personal sculpture by the shore-line, called Head Above Water - his Head Above Water.

When in 2018, Padwick was offered a jetty on London's South Bank to create something for The London Design Festival, it seemed the perfect opportunity to realise a new Head Above Water installation.  This time it would be for everyone and anyone. 

Working with his partner, the creative and project director Natalie May (Alexopoulos), they started on their incredible journey.

These 3 films are the culmination of this journey.

Steuart Padwick died on April 3rd, 2023.
