Double Spinner is my favourite sculpture on the Sidney Seaside Sculpture Walk. Lyman Whitaker created the attractive counter-rotating double spinner, now mounted in Eastview Park.

The Sidney Seaside Sculpture Walk gives artists an opportunity to display their art for a two year period. The town provides the location along the waterfront walkway, the concrete base and the installation. The art remains the property of the artist until sold to the town or any other interested buyer. A dozen sculptures are currently in place. My favourite is the kinetic sculpture by Lyman Whitaker.
The following is a direct quote from the website www.sculpturewalk.ca
"Lyman Whitaker has over 50 years’ experience as a sculptor with a unique knowledge of materials and their application. His works include fountains, traditional cast bronze pieces, mobiles and other abstract sculptures both large and small. Since 1988 Lyman has been focused primarily on creating wind sculptures that are fabricated out of copper, stainless steel and steel. Individual wind sculptures range in size from 5 feet up to 28 feet tall, and can be installed alone, in small groupings or in a “Wind Symphony” creating a dynamic interplay of rhythms."
