Soft Power by Ryan Heath

Ryan Heath, Soft Power, 2025

 Jesmonite, Stainless Steel and Satya Incense Cone

Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station was the last coal power plant in the UK, closing on 30th September 2024.

This work, Soft Power, honours the brutalist landmark—a sign for many that they are nearly home—and reflects the UK’s ongoing move towards decarbonisation. The steam that once rose from its towers is echoed here as a functional incense burner.

Made from Jesmonite—an eco-friendly, heat-resistant compound—each piece is handmade in my Nottingham studio. Every sculpture is unique, with slight variations in colour. 

One stainless steel interior heat guard and a Satya incense cone are included with each order.
