Slava Ukraini

 

FK OFF PUTINOCCHIO

This is inspired by the answer of the Ukrainian border guard Roman Hyrbov on Snake Island in February 2022 ; "Russian warship, go f...k yourself." The warship Moskva was later sunk by the Ukrainians.....Pinocchio's nose  grew longer as he told more lies..... Russian missiles are represented here by a church organ pipe..... Z is plastered all over the Ruzzian tanks and military vehicles... Slava Ukraini is their rallying call....The installation was made by Scraptor Anthony Wilson and can be seen beside a public path in Wiltshire England running from Heytesbury to Knook on the northern bank of the River Wylye, from BA12 0HE to BA120JG. 

 

Nature as a sculptor, a Welsh baby dragon

 

Giant Owl in Wiltshire

Anthony made this owl from a deck of a clapped out  sit on lawn mower. It had gaps caused by rust. But it had the eyes and the widow's peak of an owl. It sits in the beech tree of Stewart Penny Services in Upton Lovell; he repairs and sells garden machinery. It was a thank you present for the gift  by Stewart of bits and pieces for sculpture. Some old Jerry cans from his sheds became golden dogs. See below. The tails are old lawn mower blades.

Green Man work in progress

This will be a Green Man in the spring when the offshoots of the lime tree will be in leaf. The eyes are Volkswagen hub caps, The edging is an old hosepipe, the mouth the remains of a car boot  and the tongue a car bonnet. The first  aconites  are a harbinger of the spring.
