Taken in the Towner in Eastbourne whilst visiting an exhibition by internationally renowned artist Nigel Hall (b.1943) titled Here and Now, There and Then. The exhibition included some sculptural works, through which he has been exploring an interest in computer-modelling.
The sculptures were constructed from multiple layers of plywood which had been created into blocks and fashioned into many shapes the forms.
When I positioned at a certain angle I could see a heart within this sculpture, part of a much larger form.
A Royal Academician since 2003, Hall is one of the most respected sculptors in contemporary British Art. Whilst best known for his 3D work, drawing has always been an essential part of his practice, whether as an idea for a sculpture or in its own right he continually uses it as a medium to explore space, light, shadow and structure.

Churchill College, University of Cambridge. New series on "Sculptures" at Cambridge colleges. This one, entitled "Southern Shade 2012", is by Nigel Hall. I love how the sculpture "grows" at night.
Catch up tomorrow! Thanks for your views and comments!

In the absence of anything new I thought I'd post another one of this.

Missing an old buddy here on flickr: Green Little Monster. Such a jolly character with whom we set up the Green Smile Club back in 2007. If you look around you're sure to see a green smile:-) Do share!
Churchill College in Cambridge was designed in a brutalist style by architect Richard Sheppard and completed in 1968.
The sculpture on the lawn is titled The Now and is by Nigel Hall.
Double exposures project with Denise! June 2019.
I used a Pentax Espio and shot a whole roll of Kodak Gold 200 35mm film. Then I rewound it and sent it to Denise who took her photos over the top using a Canon AT-1. I was in Oxford in the UK and Denise was in Wichita, Kansas USA!

Architects; Richard Sheppard, Robson & Partners, 1961-64.
I remember the excitement of Churchill competition particularly related to the disappointment of not seeing Stirling & Gowan's scheme getting a go ahead as their proposals were deemed to be not suitable for building in phases, one of the competition’s conditions.
Sheppard Robinson were possibly not the cutting edge of inventive architecture but they certainly knew how to build functional and pleasing buildings and there is hardly any visitor or student who is not impressed with the calm, almost ‘well worn’ gentle 'brutalism' this project still offers. I never miss the opportunity to have a walk around it when I find myself in Cambridge as the changing weather, landscaping and light conditions never fail to offer one or two delightful sights of a building which is still maturing like a good wine.
I have been anxiously waiting to see the emergence of the latest courtyard by '6a' as the result of their competition winning scheme at Churchill and would offer you a glimpse of their approach based on the birth currently in progress. The architects apparently are faithfully retaining the original theme of courtyards but impishly proceeding to dismantle it systematically. There are a number of intriguing twists to formulate an entire quiz show for some imaginary architectural programme. The questions will demand to highlight the 'contrasts' between use of materials like timber boarding and concrete surface patterns, spatial organisation of private and communal spaces for the occupants and many other 'role reversals' this scheme can rightly divulge to an intelligent architectural observer.
I might be getting a bit carried away but in a way I feel this courtyard is a parody of Stirling & Gowan's original site layout of their competition entry.
You decide for yourself but have a quick look at their proposals on
by clicking on the project for Churchill College.
The main entrance is almost a romantic classical gesture with a good dose of brutalism thrown in.
