Deadwood Art

Honestly don't know. He was there when I took the photos but he was busy hooking up a horse he had just finished which is in the lean too in front of the tractor. Next time I'm passing I'll ask him. Whatever the time and cost I reckon it would look much better and be way better value for money than some of these so called art sculptures I'm seeing pop all around the place (for extortionate money just quietly),

True.

 

How long does it take to make the kiwi and moa?

 

...Oh, about 10 million years. And around ten years to lose them.

 

An environmentalist's joke.

 

Nice sculptures. Just a little pity the steel couldn't have been lost inside the wood.

 

Have people seen all the development going up round 'the wicker man' next to the M5 on the Somerset levels? Seems like only a year since it was standing in open countryside. I wonder if it will survive?

 

Best wishes,

I think the steel will disappear once they are moved to their permanent location. They just seem to be supports while the things are weather treated and fireproofed.

The horse reminds me of Heather Jansch, she's well established in the uk for making driftwood horses. I've attached a pic.http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2008/11/28/article-1090255-02A05FA0000005DC-144_634x286.jpg

 

 

Here's one of mine, a high tide marker to highlight coastal erosion. It points to where the sea is expected to encroach in fifty years time.
