Artwork - A Great Day Trip

[debris4spike]

On Friday, my friend Christine, and I went to the last day of Delamore Arts Month.  I stumbled across it when looking for a house or garden to look at and sort of wondered how much was there.

When we arrived it turned out there were over 100 sculptures in the garden, and 3 rooms of paintings and statues in the house & stables.   Some of them were amazing, and I would buy (if I was rich ... as the prices started at £400, and went up to £12,000) ... but some were completely weird ... one was literally a block of concrete the size of 2 standard house bricks (yet it would have cost £500 to buy).  Anyway, here are a few images of the trip.
















































We had to pay to go into the event, but all the money went to a children's hospice charity.  Yes, I would go again, and anyone in SW England, it's worth a visit next May.

Aren't they fascinating! I like a lot of them - but could live without the pile of baby heads or the cigarettes.

There were a wide range of statues .... but those baby's heads were truly creepy. And I do wonder why you would want a cigarette stub in your garden

Some of those are lovely and some are just weird. Shame it’s so far from me :)
