159 - Ascalon

This sculpture titled 'Ascalon' was commissioned by the St Georges Cathedral in 2009. Named after the lance used by St George to slay the dragon, the artwork aims “to evoke a sense of righteous power and victory over a force of darkness and oppression." I'm not sure that those are the things it evokes for me personally, but I have always enjoyed the feeling of movement around this piece. And all the better with a glint of afternoon sun!

    Sort of pictures a whirlwind, if you ask me. I like it.

    It does have something of a flowing sensibility to it. I like the background for the sculpture!

    I'm not sure I get that message either but I do like the flowing lines. It's almost dance-like.
