Icarus and Daedalus

Bat wings, originally uploaded by Lancaster Today.

Picking up my daughter from a summer school course hosted by Lancaster Central High School, I was confronted by Batman and Robin - or "naked men with bat wings" as Yasmin described them.

'Icarus and Daedalus' by Peter Huby working with pupils from Year 8, part of the Sculpture Trail at Central. More details of the art at Central High here.

  2. Thanks Sean - I was surprised to find this outside what is generally an unattractive 1970's building. The deputy-head told me the others on the trail are worth looking at too. I'll check them out tomorrow if it isn't raining...
