Arts in the Park, originally uploaded by michelle3duk.
I created 3 sculptures of swimmers in the park this Sunday. This one is doing front crawl. The other two were a swimmer on a diving block about to dive, and a synchronised swimmer (only legs visible). I had lots of help from local children, hence the slightly bizarre anatomy in some places – skinny legs and bulky upper arm muscles. It was a good day with lots of interest from visitors to the park.
The event coincided with an Olympic handover ceremony in the park, and Adrian Moorhouse came to meet his fellow swimmers after receiving the Olympic flag.
