Inclusions

 

This bronze came to live in the Market Square in Cirencester in 2018. Entitled "Pink Lady Dancing With Big Brown Dog", it's the work of artist Sophie Ryder. I took a quick snap of it and mentally filed it under "interesting/possible blog content." The jury was out as to whether I  liked it or not, but that never stops me from admiring the workmanship and skill which goes into creating these pieces. With Mr GBT off doing something else for a few minutes I went back for a second look and to see if there was any sort of information with it. 

Well I'm jolly glad I did because these two figures have all sorts of unexpected metal objects incorporated into their bodywork...something which I would never have realised otherwise.  Whilst I'm still not bowled over by the end result I love the use of all the parts which have brought it all together so thought it worth sharing for others to ponder and appreciate.

    A bit too odd and brown for me. I wonder what the local people thought about it

      I don't know. It's on loan from the artist so it may not be there forever. Arilx

    We've walked past this sculpture on numewrous occasions but had no idea about the weird metal objects. I wouldn't say no to having it in the garden! xxx

      It would work well in your garden...if it went in mine there would be no garden left! Arilx

    Although I don't find the sculptures pleasing to look at, I love looking closely to work out how they were constructed. Sometimes it's the process which fascinates me.

      I always appreciate an artist's skill even if a piece might not be to my taste. Arilx
