Study Nature, Love Nature, Stay close to Nature... It will never fail you. - Frank Lloyd Wright

Focus Week 4 (01/03/10) - Blackpool Pleasure Beach






Whilst up north, we decided to take a trip to Blackpool pleasure beach, and luckily enough, I stumbled upon a couple of sculptures by David Harber.
I found 8 of his sculptures, that create an inviting and welcoming green space, designed to create a peaceful haven for people to sit and rest. Some water features, some sculptures, and others sun dials, David Harber tries to create an interaction between the sculptures, and the nature that surrounds them. He uses a wide range of metals and alloys mixed with granite, and water, pebbles and grass, to create a distortion of the nature that surrounds it, somewhat creating a desert mirage.. "each combining reflective mixed metal surfaces with the magic of surface tension to create a range of intriguing visual effects."
