Description:
|
General view. Location: Outside the Manpower Services Commission Building, Moorfoot. Description: Large bronze-coloured plastic fountain sculpture. Very much in keeping with the surrounding architectural environment. The artist has referred to it as an exploding crucible. Commission: One of several projects by the same artist for the Property Services Agency of the Department of the Environment. A mural by the same artist, commissioned by Sheffield City Council, is located in the same street. Comment: This piece is normally assumed to be bronze, although this is not the case. In winter water sometimes freezes on it in a spectacular icefall.
