Find a mini-jungle near Trafalgar Square
A surprising sculpture at the corner of Northumberland Avenue and Trafalgar Square: 70 endangered species decorate the Grand Building.
Amazing, they really look as if they are stepping out of this wall.
I love to stop there with my daughter. We play “I spy…”, caress a stone squirrel… Look up: Adam and Eve are right above the arch. A little higher, God, looking very perplex. A very modern version, his wristwatch has stopped at the 11th hour (remember Leonardo Di Caprio and his ecological documentary – the 11th hour is almost the point of no-return).
The artist, Barry Baldwin, has a wonderful expression for this ecological issue: he does not speak of heartache but of art-ache…
