Mea Culpa (Partial) 2
The sculpture, by Robert Bryce Muir, was completed in 2006 and can be found in Grizedale Forest Park in the southern Lake District.
Consisting of two full-scale human figures connected by a rope, the figures are constructed and positioned to illustrate the dynamics and movement of the two elements in tension. It is the struggle between two joined forces. This image shows half of the sculpture, with a figure being raised up by rope pulled by the other figure (off to the right). Unfortunately, as can be seen, the rope has not survived the weather as well as the metal parts...
"Mea Culpa, as with other aspects of my work is based on the idea that the figure, although integral, works as a vital component of the piece as a whole. It is a sculpture, which dissects space, the rope being another important feature, as it forms a strong line, creating partition and direction." - Robert Bryce Muir.
Since the 1970s artists have been integrating works of art into the landscape and over 60 can now be found on the multiple trails that wend their way over the hillsides.
