Gyosei Art Trail 2 - By the Grand Union Canal - Milton Keynes 17Feb17
Taken from a Great Linford Parish Council leaflet.
Commemorating the legacy of Gyosei International School UK. The Japanese co-educational boarding school and playing fields closed in 2002 and the site at Willen Park South was redeveloped as Lovat Fields Village and Barret Homes Gyosei housing scheme.
Developer funding paid for eight artworks in Phase 1, which
are related to the themes of; Japanese Connections, Canal
History, Fish, Fowl, Insects and Invertebrates.
The trail is located on both sides of the Grand Union
Canal from H3 Monks Way to H5 Portway and is accessible
from the local redway network.
Life sized Shire horse in steel.
For the Gyosei Art Trail, Andrew has created a powerful
Shire Horse whose steady toil propelled the barges of yesteryear along the towpaths of the Grand Union canal. Andrew says he has tried to capture the huge strength and solidity of a Shire, while also suggesting the animals’ calm,
resolute approach to the task in hand.
My Labradoodle Whispa decided to pose as I was taking the photo. I left her in as she is doing a good imitation of the horse and gives a good size perspective !
