Description:
|
Sketches for the Castle Square Site submitted by Cox at the start of the project. This design was selected.
Each artist submitted designs for each of the five sites of the project. Paul Swales, Sheffield's Public Art Officer at the time, and instigator of the project, co-ordinated the selection of artist and site in discussions with those commissioning the works. Location: Castle Square. Description: The two rams are facing each other separated by a tiny space. Many of the surfaces of the stone have been left uncarved, the rear of one of the rams still shows shot-hole marks. The sculpture is located in front of railings by the Sheffield jeweller, Brett Payne. Commission: One of the pieces made during the Stone City Symposium, (19 June and 16 July 1995). Funding for the creation of Castle Square, which replaced the 'Hole-in-the-Road'designed in the 1960's, came from a variety of sources. Comment: A popular piece with children who can often be seen climbing onto it. The artist was brought up on a working farm on the North Downs. His father was still working with sheep there when this piece was made. Artist's Statement: (from the publicity leaflet for Stone City) "Carved in two blocks of stone the animals charge against each other expressing a feeling of strength and movement. One ram leans into the other and on impact causes an arch in its opponent's back" |
