Description

Public sculpture (including plinth) entitled ‘Dryad’, 1983-1984 by Austin Wright, in cast and welded aluminium.

DESCRIPTION: the sculpture is 2.4m long, 1.4m wide and 1.5m high. It comprises a double ring attached to an arching, flowing horizontal form. The sculpture has something of the appearance of a reclining figure; a ring-like head attached to a body with extended wings. The surface of the aluminium is smooth at the head but has a variety of textures for the body. It is set on a rendered rectangular plinth with a stainless steel top and concrete base, and positioned beside a rectangular pool and against the yews of the topiary garden next to Heslington Hall.
