This was called 'Sanctuary' - but before I looked at the catalogue my immediate reaction was "World in Chains" - what do you think?

I like those, especially the 2 dogs. Often think I'd love to have a go at metal sculpture once all the various projects are finished. Maybe a life sized monkey for the garden.

Love that cat. Surely, being an arty farty sculpture thing the materials should read "oxidised barbed wire and steel" Grin Grin Grin Grin

No they're artists not technicians - tho the welding on the stainless pieces was impressive - almost invisible!   I liked the cat too.

Love those sculptures BG! A guy round here was doing something similar with the wire from old shopping trolleys that they had dragged out of the river! They are more difficult than they look to do,as you have to get the 'pose' just right. Lovely stuff.
