Millennium Gallery, Sheffield - Barking up the Right Tree steel sculpture




Saw this great sculpture in the Millennium Gallery Sheffield couple of weekends ago made out of cutlery (as it would being the home of cutlery in Sheffield)...just see what you can do with them old forks, spoons and knives!!
 
Johnny White's Barking up the Right Tree steel sculpture, made of Sheffield cutlery. Solid at the base, it spreads out into three branch-like necks with a head on each one. Press a button and the tree barks and talks. Press another and the heads and upper necks move. Young kids are immediately drawn by the magic response to pressed buttons, older ones to the sculpture's fascinating, shiny, scale-like texture.
