Borden Park in Edmonton is one of my favourite places to go for a walk, and I have posted pictures of it here previously. (October Afternoon, Autumn, Sunday Morning) One of the things I like about it is that is home to lots of sculptures.
It reminds me of the time when I was a student of sculpture, back in the early 1970s in the UK. I spent a year at Manchester College of Art and a year at Rochdale College of Art. From there I went to Bretton Hall, which at the time was a college of the University of Leeds, to earn a teaching certification.
The grounds at Bretton Hall are beautiful and became the home for Yorkshire Sculpture Park with works by many artists including Henry Moore and Barbara Hepworth.
The sculptures at Borden Park are varied and unusual, and I often stop to look at them. The metal sculptures remind me of some of the maquettes I made back in the day, and the pleasure I took in learning to weld. I went to the Rochdale technical school to learn oxy-acetylene welding and was the only female in the class. The other students helped me with the heavy lifting and I helped them prepare for the written exam. Win-win.
Borden (Sculpture) Park not only provides me with a lovely place to safely wander, but it also brings back memories. More winning.

Little known fact: All sculptures are impressions of naked ladies. It’s a Freudian thing, apparently.
😉
Riiiiiight. Although, some of them may be messages from aliens on UFOs.
Probably naked alien ladies!
Not that I have a thing about this , you understand!
Well, of course. That goes without saying!
Naturellement.

Well these are amazing, and great story also. We have a student sculpture park here too, and it is delightful to go on campus and walk around and about.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoy your student sculpture park. I always appreciate when governments and public bodies support the arts.
Yes, this is so true, very good thought
