Botanic Gardens, sensory fountain
This sensory fountain is another feature of the Herb Garden in the Botanic Gardens. This spherical fountain was designed to be touched, seen and heard with a steady trickle of water flowing over it, on approach. It was designed by Victorian artist Tim Jones and made by Dave Mune at the Art Foundry in Victoria. The fountain is surrounded by a bronze ring of herbs drawn by Gardens’ illustrator Marion Westmacott.
What an unusual fountain! It looks very inviting and I like the color.
ReplyDeleteI instantly thought of a potter at her wheel creating a spherical object with water flowing to assist the moulding process.
ReplyDeleteI never knew that.
ReplyDeleteYou have a lot of interesting photos on your blog! Love those from the Botanic garden!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for visiting me! Didn't find any SWF post, but I am a little late taking the tour! :)
Different. And a fun idea I think.
ReplyDeleteWow! Now that is an interesting fountain! I would really like to get a mounted wall fountain version of this for my patio.
ReplyDeleteThanks Valkyrien. I actually gave Skywatch a miss this week because it clashed with the other theme day but I have a good one ready for this Friday.
