Ring of Eternity, Blackwood, Wales. - Abstract Public Sculptures on Waymarking.com

Inspiration for the sculpture came from the following text: "All things from Eternity are of like forms and come around in a full Circle".

The piece represents the way in which both industry and nature play major roles in the story of coal itself. A large circle has been chosen to reflect both the shapes of the Celtic ring and the Coal Mine, winding wheel. This ring shape also symbolises the ring of eternity, and pays particular regard to the landscape of the locality, which was initially changed by human influence, to being a coal spoil tip, and black rivers, but through time a natural healing process has occurred and the land has returned to a green landscape.

The Ring of Eternity was commissioned by Caerphilly County Borough Council, and made of bronze, stainless steel, cast stone and fired brick.
