Description:
The
theme is of Watford’s
town twinning, and the festivals common to several
of the six connected towns. The sculpture is
composed of four 6m high columns, each comprising a
tower of three stainless steel tubes, these support
two cast bronze masks 1 metre long. Wrapping round
the masks and upper half of the columns are copper
ribbons - some patinated green. The poles of the
column pass through a domed bronze base and are
fixed to a Yorkstone pier. This domed base has a
relief map of the Northern hemisphere showing the
location of the twin towns, and each pier has the
title of the appropriate festival (relating to the
mask above it) carved into the vertical face of the
Yorkstone coping by Mr. West , stone mason.
