This autumn marks the fourth annual appearance of these wire sculptures in various gardens around the city centre. This is one of about ten to be found in the Museum Gardens. There are a total of forty-five to be found, six of which are new for 2024.
This shot shows a knight in armour kneeling to pledge allegiance, and can be found in the edible garden.
A new feature for this year is that at the end of the event in early November, all the sculptures will be displayed together in the Museum Gardens, and after dark they will be illuminated. That should be an impressive sight!
Oh wow the wire makes him look like he is actually wearing the chain mail they would have done. Great capture. You have to get one of them all together
I remember you posting these! Fascinating pieces. I do love this knight. He reminds me of the one in that painting La Belle Dame Sans Merci. (As Flanders and Swann deliberately mistranslated it so amusingly "the beautiful lady who never says thankyou!")
I have seen something similar in France, they are all very impressive, but sometimes difficult to take pictures of, so ghost is a great description. Neat shot.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.
It was nice to see the Ghosts in the Gardens again, and I will be after more photos of them over the next few weeks, particularly of the six that are new for 2024. It is fascinating to see the effects of light on these sculptures.
