This sculpture is the most recent of a suite of three sculptures made by Lucy Tomlins, Concrete Country in Red, White and Blue. Concrete Country in White is made of concrete and is in Grizedale Forest. Concrete Country in Blue is made of painted steel.
Sited on an ancient field boundary, this oversized stile acts as both a barrier and a gateway. It separates the busy main campus with its traffic from the quieter, rural spaces around the nearby residences. Created from steel, the work fuses an image of the countryside with the materials of the built environment.
