In the vicinity of one of the many scupltures around Milton Keynes. "Essence: Wendy Taylor, 1982 Bronze Outside Milton Keynes Council offices, Saxon Court, Avebury Boulevard Commissioned by Milton Keynes Development Corporation and donated to Milton Keynes Council Wendy Taylor has been creating sculpture for public sites since the 1960s, working for a wide range of commercial, industrial and private patrons. Essence was commissioned by the Development Corporation for this city centre site. The artist describes her response to the site, '.. this sculpture is .. surrounded by a wide selection of shrubs which give a secret air to the area, providing a complete contrast to the bold outlines of Milton Keynes' avenues. The soft enfolding lines of the sculpture are a response to the intimacy of the enclosed environment.' Essence is an entirely abstract work and reflects the artist's preoccupation with twisted, ribbon-like shapes, wound around interior voids. It was created at a time when she was fascinated with nature and natural form and may takes its reference from a specific source in nature. The work encourages the viewer to walk round it, changing shape and framing the view beyond when viewed from different angles."
Note: (Aug 2015) Container size is now smaller - bison partially covered with black tape. PLEASE be careful when searching so you don't push it out of reach and put back exactly as found.
