The above sculptures were created by Mr Derek Howarth and were originally exhibited within the University of. Leicester’s botanical gardens. Both sculptures rotate on their stands - the white lady, who’s shape has definitely has been influenced by the great Henry Moore, is named ‘She’s got a ticket to ride’ after the Beatle’s famous song written in the ‘60’s. The second sculpture is called ‘The Curates Egg’ and tells the story around civilisation.

​

If you call into the gallery the owners will only be too pleased to give a full explanation of the meanings.

​

Derek had an article published about his work in the May 2020 edition of Hertfordshire Life - click on link for further information:
