Chain Reaction - Campbell Park, Milton Keynes, UK. - Silhouette Public Art Sculptures on Waymarking.com

"Ray Smith is well known for his imaginative commissions for public places and for his sensitive responses to the often complex functional and aesthetic requirements of a particular site. His work ranges from individual sculptural and painted works to entire urban design projects incorporating street furniture and metalwork. Chain Reaction was commissioned for its site in Campbell Park and sponsored by a large number of local developers. It has been designed to be viewed from every angle. Ray Smith describes the work: ‘The basic idea for the sculpture is the simple notion of slotting one flat cut-out figure into another to create ...a three-dimensional model of figures balanced like acrobats. The forms are simple and universal.....The figures that make up the column are links in an endless chain. The structure is large in scale but also refers to tiny self-replicating molecular structures. Chain Reaction pays homage to the Endless Column of Brancusi. It refers to our aspirations but has its feet firmly planted on the ground’". Text Source: (visit link)
