Peterborough Sculpture ParkHelios XVI

Untitled, 1990 by Miles Davies

The piece is cut out from plate steel using lasers in a water tank. The precise construction makes for an intricate working of the steel with the surface constantly oxidising to an autumnal glow. Incidentally, Peterborough leased another of Davies' works which is also located in Thorpe Meadows, just across Longthorpe Parkway. (Source: Vivacity)

I resumed my sculpture trail in Peterborough Sculpture Park one Sunday morning for a final run this month, this time covering the last six sculptures in the list. Located from the car park and onto the south side of Peterborough Rowing Course these six sculptures are grouped together - Mason's Helios XVI, Davies' Untitled, 1990, Angus' Under the Ocean, Under the Sea, Pope's Odd Oaks, Camp's Festival Boat and Nicholson's Creature. Again, I limited myself to an hour and it was fun doing a shoot and run photoshoot. Great exercise, too!

All photos were taken with a micro four thirds camera (https://amzn.to/2K8BUl6) attached with a telephoto zoom lens (https://amzn.to/2YvqiMJ).
