White Stripe Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 On a visit to Bristol a few years ago, I took the photo below on Bedminster Parade / East Street. Does anyone know the history or meaning of this sculpture? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted December 16, 2021 Report Share Posted December 16, 2021 I have no idea! If you have Twitter, try asking Weird Bristol, he posts lots of interesting Bristol information and I think he lives in Bedminster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Stripe Posted December 17, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2021 Thanks. I've emailed the artist Steven Joyce to find out more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erithacus Posted December 18, 2021 Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Steven Joyce has a long history in this area: he created a number of works whilst at Spike Island, and his portfolio includes the fireman statue by the old fire station on Temple Back and well as the prominent Rodin-esque sculpture of Cabot by the Arnolfini. Also close to the Pets' Paradise is this one in St John's old churchyard off East Street: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS2 Red Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 I've walked past that sculpture thousands of times and never knew it had anything to do with Atyeo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
