BROTHERS IN ARMS

“Brothers In Arms”

The realisation that fellow countrymen fought and died in these very fields lead me inevitably to a sculpture referring to the English Civil War.

The sculpture spans the road with a sculpture in two parts. Two figures, almost identical in Mirror image, train their cannons on each other. The only difference between them is that one wears a roundhead hat and one a cavalier. They could be brothers. The inevitable outcome of their cannons aim is a shared fate, the result of political and religious intolerance. I feel this is a theme not without on-going resonance.
