Circle Dance by Clare Wilks (1997)

A living sculpture created from fresh willow wands and threaded through a structure of steel rods. Commissioned by Milton Keynes Craft Guild and the Commission for the New Towns for the 1997 Midsummer Art Show, it was donated to The Parks Trust in 1998 following original siting on the roof of the Central Business Exchange on Midsummer Boulevard. The sculpture represents a group of figures holding hands, moving so fast that they seem almost to merge into one another.

Clare Wilks is an urban designer, sculptor, weaver and landscape artist who completed a foundation course at Central St Martins and graduated in fine art from the Ruskin School of Drawing & Fine Art, Oxford.  They have completed natural public works across the UK connecting people and place. 

Circle Dance can be found by the canalside at Campbell Park.  What3words location ////purified.alleges.gloom
