| Description |
An attached metal plaque is inscribed: "Donated by the Friends of Holland Park 2011". If there's another one which says "Poetry Seat" and names the sculptor, Martin Pigg, then we missed it. This extra information is in the <a href="http://www.thefriendsofhollandpark.org/index.php?page=news-2022" rel="nofollow">Friends' Newsletter from November Autumn 2011</a>. (Excerpts below.) The wood is untreated and was planned to "weather . . . melting into the wooded background". Which it's doing very nicely. ________________________________________ "The seat . . . It has been carefully positioned to give a view over the arboretum and meadow which is especially colourful at daffodil, bluebell and campion times. The English oak from which it is carved has been left untreated so that it will weather to a natural grey, melting into the wooded background. It is held in place by a single steel pile, two metres long. This method of fixing was chosen to slip past any tree roots, causing the minimum of disturbance." "... The sculptor, Martin Pigg, earns his living as a tree surgeon and says it gives him great pleasure to salvage wood from trees he has had to cut down, and give them another lease of life where they will be again appreciated." § <a href="http://www.thefriendsofhollandpark.org/index.php?page=news-2022" rel="nofollow">Read more in the Friends' Newsletter</a>. § <a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/iaintargett/14624238428">Photo by Iain Targett in October 2013</a>. |
