A small installation

 

I made a commitment to create a small leaf installation to replace a large strange plastic apple that sat on a post outside the communal building in our village. The photo above is one of the installation now in place. 

At the same time I created the leaf forms for the above installation I made a set of leaf forms to create a version of my Bending sculpture-installation (photos below) - but in the end the leaf forms sold as two small installations on Christmas eve. See earlier blog on the making of the leaf forms.

Following are photos of the installation of the village sculpture - photos  courtesy of Graham and Fiona. It was a hot afternoon - Barry and Fiona looking their best to stay cool whilst installing the sculpture on timber blocks - we found a second block tucked away in the shrubs.

Initially I intended to install 9 leaf forms on rods on one timber block - but I took 11 with us in case we wanted to use more or at least to have choice. As it turned out because we had two blocks one ended up with 7 and the second with 3. The remaining single piece was nestled into the corner between the two blocks - see the second last photo. 

It was a good way to finish the year in the lead up to Christmas. The solid aluminium rods are not glued into place so the leaf forms have some ability to be moved around - bit of interactive fun I'm sure.
