Middleton-One-Row ‘Meander’
PAT WALLS
Quiet and reflective, the arcing form of this piece represents the meander of the river and the movement of the water.
The carving uses the qualities of the Ancaster Weatherbed limestone to exaggerate this, with a contrast between rough and polished surfaces.
The relief carving of the salmon on the plinth refers to the history of salmon fishing here.
