All Saints Church, Leamington Spa


Site of the spring
brings art to the surface
but no water

Now that's interesting.

It looks a good spot for student artists. I wish there were easels and canvases spread all about.

The other side of the church was even better for drawing.

What a strange thing, it does look like a 'spring'!

Art as puns

There was a lot of disagreement about the artistic merit of the sculpture when it was first put there! I like it.

The artist said that it encompassed three meanings of 'spring' - the shape, the season, and the fact that it is located where the first spring was found, which led to the creation of this Spa town.

Hi Lola.

Yes, I got the spring/ spring (but not the season - not sure how that was represented). All public art should be encouraged, IMO.

Very interesting indeed!

I like the shape. Makes me feel like going for a swim.
