Octo: Wendy Taylor, Sillbury Boulevard 1980


This sculpture is called Octo. It is placed on the Sillbury Boulevard, outside the Norfolk and Ashton buildings.  I like the way the sculpture sits in the square pond because of the reflection of the sculpture.

We have taken a picture of a different sculpture by the same artist,which is also cuved and made of metal but just smaller to this one. The artist is called Wendy Taylor. I think she has done a good job of thinking though all of the sculptures making them look different. This sculpture is probably going to be my best sculpture yet because of the way it looks.
I thought that the sculpture was called the Wendy Taylor and then I thought it was called The Silbury Boulevard, but then when Daddy saw it he said that it was called Octo.

On the way Heidi kept looking for a monster footprint that we found a few weeks ago but she could not find it. We have enclosed the picture that we took when we last saw it.

Heidi, Gracie and I were walking round the sculpture trying not to fall in.

Flying Carpet: Philomena Davis, 1989. Shopping center

This sculpture is called Flying Carpet and it was created by the same artist that we have photographed in an earlier entry, Philomena Davis.

The sculptures were all based on fun in different ways.

We thought it's a good sculpture because they are all of children. When the girl was on the flying carpet the wind was blowing her hair back in one piece.

Chain Reaction Ray Smith, 1992 Campbell Park


This sculpture was made by Ray Smith in 1992 and it sits in Campbell park.

I thought we had already photographed this sculpture,  but we had not, we had just been to this park during Diwali when we photographed another sculpture.

The art is meant to be some red people standing on top of each other.

I liked the park because there were lots and lots of hills and there were para-gliders trying to lift of the ground but unfortunately they didn't.

On the way there I climbed the biggest hill and it was huge. While I ran up I tried not to step in any sheep poo because we saw over one hundred Sheep there.
