Black Country business makes new Irish artwork
TIPTON based metal bending specialists, Angle Ring Company, have provided a range of induction bent tubes for a new piece of public art at Honeypark in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland.
The vision of local artist, Ruth E Lyons, Superunification, as the sculpture is known, now stands overlooking the park on the outskirts of Dublin.
At 12m high, and comprised of mild steel that has been hot dip galvanised and painted in a progression of colours, Superunification has been described as a “strong work of contemporary art that is ambitious, aesthetically compelling with a meaning and significance that will endure over time.” dshaw@blackcountrybugle.co.uk
Angle Ring provided a range of 406.4mm diameter tubes by 16mm thick, bent to tight radii ranging from 1.2m to 6.9m.
Sam Baker, Export Manager at Angle Ring said: “It’s great to work on such an interesting project. We’ve been able to watch its progress after leaving our shop floor in numerous parts through to further fabrication and now its final install. So much work has gone into the project.
“We have worked on numerous art installations and sculpture projects in the past and it is always fascinating to see how artists transform our basic, curved steel into works of art.”
