Re: Making sculptures to go on the Coppice

Here is a photo of the winning entry by Martin Boyce, seems to have been a popular winner. Turner Prize winner Martin Boyce's sculptures: in pictures - Telegraph

Also a link to a description of the meaning of the work by the artist.

This kind of art has to be experienced first hand to be appreciated. About 10 years ago we went to see the Salvador Dali Gallery in Figueres, Spain, the whole family enjoyed the day out -very thought provoking and made you look at things in a different way. Some of the pieces were pretty wild.
Have attached his Portrait of Marilyn Monroe for you to see, It's the size of a room and you have to go up to a special viewing gallery to see it. The lips are a full-size red sofa....
