Looking up sculpture in the Sussex Downs

John Elkington · 10 July 2008 · Leave a Comment

   

Today, Elaine and I drove down to Goodwood to visit the Cass Foundation’s Goodwood Sculpture Park, somewhere we had meant to go for ages.  As the photos show, the range of exhibits is quite remarkable – and the fitfully sunny weather lent a fleeting, evnaescent quality to some of the encounters.  Hard to pick favourites, but mine would include Catamarans on a Granite Wave (which put me in mind of Sutton Hoo), DNA DL90, In the Beginning, Paparazzi, System No. 19, and the one I would hauled away if I could have done so unobserved, Wendy Taylor’s Sycamore.

Introduction

I began this blog with an entry reporting on a visit to the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution on Cape Cod, on 30 September 2003. The blog element of the website has gone through several iterations since, with much of the older material still available.

Like so many things in my life, blog entries blur the boundaries between the personal and the professional. As explained on this site’s Home Page, the website and the blog are part platform for ongoing projects, part autobiography, and part accountability mechanism.

In addition, my blogs have appeared on many sites such as: Chinadialogue, CSRWire, Fast Company, GreenBiz, Guardian Sustainable Business, and the Harvard Business Review.
