Sculpture by Andrew McKeown
The Millennium
Commission programme, launched in 1995, was to transform ‘underused,
often dangerous and neglected wastelands into new recreational
facilities for the benefit of local communities.’ And beyond that, to
give hope and confidence to individuals whose talents and skills were
underdeveloped or underused.
The sculpture consists of five concrete blocks with concave inner surfaces surround an ovoid in Corten steel with leaf veining on its upper surface and carving suggesting the joining of a fruit to its stem on the left hand side. Two blocks standing upright behind the 'fruit' and the left hand block lying on its side also have leaf veining on their inner surfaces. Rivets and rivet holes are moulded onto the surface of four of the blocks - holes on the upright ones; rivets on the ones on their sides to the right and left of the 'fruit'.
