sculptures are an engaging addition to public parks and private
gardens. The vanes can have either a fun and whimsical theme or
can have a more serious sculptural quality.

Windvanes for
a playground in a Birmingham Nursery School.
Commissioned by Birmingham City Council as part
of their "Young at Art" programme. Each
column carries a vane mounted on low maintenance
polymer bearings - the heavy balls on the end of
the vanes give a pendulum effect that encourages
them to swing "through" the wind and
then try to correct themselves thus exaggerating
the effect of the wind through constant movement.
