Another piece from the wonderful Tees Sculpture Trail by River Tees Rediscovered, this one in Darlington’s South Park. Steve Tomlinson’s Musical Dragonfly is the last of the artworks in Darlington before the trail moves east towards the coast.
“Reflecting on the leisure and fun of the park, ‘Musical Dragonfly’ (in reference to the bandstand) is made from acid etched galvanised steel. The dragonfly rests on a hornlike shape with feet of forged ‘musical notes’, a body like a tin whistle and wings with trumpet like ‘valves’.“
