Art-Stalker: Man on a mission

Well, you’d real­ly have to know your way around to guess today’s piece just by the pho­to here.

One of the things I’ve been enjoy­ing is not hav­ing to wan­der too far from the apart­ment to find some amazing[ly weird] stuff around for you to look at.

This piece is in Jack Ilott Green. You know, the lit­tle gar­den just off Jer­vois Quay, the one where they’re con­stant­ly promis­ing to build some­thing use­ful. At the moment it just seems to be a refuge for pot smok­ers.

OK, since I’m keep­ing you in sus­pense, here’s the side view!

Yeah, the Welling­ton­ista are think­ing it too. Bloody strange bit of art.

It has this same bias relief on all four sides, and although the entire sculp­ture seems to be get­ting a lit­tle knocked about it’s still in good form.

Prob­lem is, no-one is cer­tain what in the heck it’s sup­posed to be. If you have any sug­ges­tions, fell free to leave them in com­ments.

But first! What is it!

Appar­ent­ly this piece is called Axis of the Gates of Serendip­i­ty, and is a Bruce Camp­bell cir­ca 1997. Good luck find­ing any­thing about Bruce on the inter­web. With a name like that you might as well be search­ing for “John Smith”.

Mind you, if you don’t want to be cyber-stalked… good name.
