Ropner Park: Fish Swallowing Bird
The sculpture commissioned by Stockton District Council to replace a Victorian drinking fountain, which had been temporarily sited in the park, forms part of a programme of refurbishment which includes the renovation of the cast iron park gates and a decorative fountain.
The sculpture has, as its starting point, the work by Gaudier Brzeska “Bird Swallowing Fish” and also refers to the aforementioned decorative fountain, which is adorned with cast iron herons.
