Description: | Wind animated sculpture - goose in flight set on top of tall thin pole on concrete base. Additional Information: Taken from 'The Jackdaws of Caerphilly': 'The new square provided by blocking Stockland Street and Windsor Street have provided the spaces in which to pause, just off the busy shopping thoroughfare. These squares have been given form and identity through the inclusion of their sculptural features. Thus animated, they have been transformed from places in which to pause into places in which to linger. The sites provided an opportunity to establish a series of guardian sculptures. Towns and cities the world over have employed guardians to represent and defend their people. They mark the various camps and fly the flags for the different factions. Proud figures adorn town gates, stand above doorway and mark thresholds. Here in Caerphilly the guardians express a new confidence for the town. They carry the visual narrative and provide a focus for each indvidual space.' | Subjects: | Sculpture | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Sculptor: Westerman, Julie Fay | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=6715... | Go to resource |
