Circle Dance Clare Wilks 1997

This willow sculpture was originally commisioned for the annual Midsummer art show in Milton Keynes, and was placed on top of the roof of one of the entrances to the Central Business exchange in the city. It was then placed here in Campbell Park the following year, where it remains. It is made with a steel rod frame, around which the willow has been woven to create a circle of dancing figures. It gives the impression of them dancing round so fast, that they become a blur.
