Lickey Hills Sculpture Trail

Avril Elward is currently exhibiting with the ‘Out Yer Tree’ Organisation in the Lickey Hills Country Park. It was a fabulous opening day on Saturday with plenty of visitors and the 11 contemporary artists involved discussed their work during a walk around the sculpture trail in the Bilberry Hill area of the park .

Below are two works created specifically for the park by Avril.

Blobulous, wire paper mache, industrial paint, canes

Blobulous is about fun and individuality. Some obscure colourful objects are placed outside of a gallery space to observe how the colours interact with the space, and how it effects our perception of a space.

Totem Poles, wood, industrial paints

These poles pay homage to the deminuition of industry, the black bitumen paint references the production industry, and the bright acidic colours reference the colours of our contemporary cities. Painted in a quick spontaneous way to evoke speed of our cities growth.

If you would like to visit the show is on until 4 October at Warren Lane, Rednall. JM
