The Conversation - City Square, Milton Keynes, UK. - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

"The Conversation consists of two bronze figures in conversation, raised from the ground on a plinth, away from the bustle of the people below. The plinth is their table, an intimate and private space elevated above the rest of the world. Again the tea ritual is used as the symbol of a meeting. According to the artist, the column represents an arena of expectation, and the carved river motif and gold-leafed fish act as ‘ the natural life forces from which we come...all fish bar one swim in one direction - the one unleafed fish representing the one that would appear to swim against the tide’.

Sculpted as a Public Commission by Nicolas Moreton in 1995, the plinth made of Kilkenny black fossil limestone with the figures in bronze". Text Source: (visit link)
