The Learning Curve - 2001
Sited between the busy, modern High Street and a Sensory Garden in St Mary’s Churchyard, this beautiful, ephemeral, sculpture acts as an effective transition between the two distinctly different environments. One of a series of major public art commissions for Watford Council’s Town Centre Enhancement Programme, funded by National Lottery.
This five metre high spiral latticework sculpture features 37 tactile/pictorial panels enticing the viewer to seek out the source of each image. The panels depict natural & man-made subjects from the immediate environment and were developed by Adrian from workshops with art students at West Herts College.
