Europa and the Bull

At the southern most part of the South Lawn, there is a staging area with a statue of Europa and the Bull. The Hughes Pavilion is off to the right. A bridge, known as the Swilken Burn Bridge, sits near the edge of the stage.















Four Seasons

At the far end of the South Lawn, there are the Four Season statues. They mark the corners of a square section of the space. A bridge and pathway connects the South Lawn to an area near the Hughes Pavilion adjacent to this space.















Figures

From the porch I went to the right side of the lawn where there were scattered figures. I walked a between them. I soon found myself crossing a bridge to the Hughes Pavilion.















South Lawn

So, I doubled back to where I first turned down Terrace Walk. This time I went straight to the South Lawn. The lawn has a grouping of figure sculptures by artist Steinumm Thòrarinsdòttir. They are made of cast iron and glass. Thòrarinsdòttir’s figurative works concern the human condition, the relationship to the environment and the native land of the artist, Iceland. There’s a porch on the south side of the gallery building.
