Dawson's Horizon

I was lucky enough today to be able to visit the Gibbs Farm. It's only open to the public a few days a year, and I was given a free ticket. The farm is full of wonderful, huge sculptures, and exotic animals. Totally beautiful. This was one of my favourites. Read about it below if you're interested
Dawson’s Horizons is one of the earliest sculptures to be commissioned for the Gibbs Farm. Sitting as it does on one of the highest points in the property it is also one of the few works that can be seen from the road.
This seems fitting given the way the tromp l’oeil character of the work is suggestive of a giant piece of corrugated iron that might have blown in from a collapsed water tank on some distant farm, only to rest precariously until the next gale lifts it into the air again.
