| Festival Boat by Sokan Douglas Camp |
This piece was commissioned from the artist as part of the final Festival of Sculpture in 1989 which marked the end of the Development Corporation in Peterborough. This stunning large concrete piece on the bank of the river Nene takes as its source the festival boats used ceremonially in the artist’s native Nigeria. (Source: Vivacity)
I resumed my sculpture trail in Peterborough Sculpture Park one Sunday morning for a final run last 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!
