Today I have been working hard an article that I am writing about Broomhill Sculpture Gardens for Devon Life magazine. Whilst sorting through the photos I found this picture of a favourite of mine. I’m afraid I can’t tell you who it is by or what it is called. I can tell you that it is made from old road signs, is shaped like a cast off crinoline and decorated with flowers. Some of these blooms are draped in lichen, an addition made not by the artist but by Mother Nature. I wonder if whoever fashioned this work envisaged this soft green addition to their metallic masterpiece.
Fantastic! The roses look very gracious I think, but that little touch of green really gives them life!

I thought that too, it is good that these sculptures are changing in the environment they are living in. I am sure the artists must have considered that. Eventually some will disintegrate, as is the way of all things 🙂

Nature has a way of enhancing – I agree with you, these are beautifully crafted, Broomhill is on my ‘Must Do’ list for 2016 so I look forward to seeing them.

You would love it, and of course you must eat there, if only one of their chocolate cherry brownies!

I’m glad you like them too. I’m afraid it wont be in Hampshire Life as well but it may well be on-line later.
