Here is a shot of a well presented ‘portrait sculpture’ of a past resident of Lucca. Puccini, I imagine, would have approved of this, displayed in a delightful square in the ancient fortified town of Lucca in North West Tuscany, Italy. I was passing with a camera (as one does whilst on holiday!) and just […]
Well here’s a surprise in the Lake District. I guess that is it either a Gormley or ‘After Gormley’ couldn’t get close enough to see a signature. Like the next work it is all about ‘location’! This one is a little different viewed from other angles. Quite clever! Full of holes in it if you […]

It was lovely to see ‘education in action’ before the […]
Willow man first appeared near the M5 Motorway many years ago (2001) when that bit of Somerset was just a very flat rather windswept field. We used to admire it as we shot past going North or South at ‘around’ 70 mph. Made from willow on a steel frame it was remade after an arson […]
One of the sources of building material for the Thames Embankment came from Lamorna Cove in Cornwall. So next time you come to London and see this sculpture of Queen Boadicea by Thomas Thornecroft next to Big Ben, think of the stones below the embankment you stand on and remember this beautiful little cove in […]
