Sculpture Exhibition
Every year, from May to October, Stone Lane Gardens becomes the back-drop for an established and much-loved outdoor sculpture exhibition entitled
“The Mythic Garden”
which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
An important showcase for West Country artists, the exhibition is held within Stone Lane Gardens, our five-acre woodland & water garden in the Dartmoor National Park, with beautifully landscaped National Collections of Birch and Alder trees. Among the groves of trees and woodland glades, individual sculptures can be seen within their own ‘frames’ which prevent the visual disturbance of seeing several pieces at once.
The gardens create a magical setting for the Exhibition which is loved by visitors of all ages. It is an ideal place to bring the family, as children love to discover the sculptures, tucked away around every corner.
2012 Mythic Garden Sculpture Exhibition
This year’s exhibition is titled ‘Birds’ and displays a wide range of interpretations of the title. Birds are portrayed imaginatively in stainless steel, mild steel, glass mosaic, ceramic, wood, stone and resin. Some are serious, some humerous and an expertly balanced pair of cranes are dancing in the wind.
Other related works include various bird houses, nesting boxes, bird tables and ceramic bird baths.
The siting of the works compliments the existing natural bird-life which the RSPB will be introducing to visitors for our ‘Bird Walk’ on June 10th at 11.00am.
The exhibition is in the garden until 6th October 2012.
