Botanic Gardens, sculpture

"Magnolia" is a sculpture created by Bronwyn Oliver in 1999, which sits in a garden bed in the Royal Botanic Gardens. The same artist also created another sculpture nearby in the gardens called "Palm".

      It's metalwork and I believe it's in the form of a Magnolia seed which is why it looks so organic.

    I love how fragile and strong the magnolia seed looks at the same time.

    Hello Jim, love the sculpture of the magnolia in the Botannical Garden. Since I have painted the magnolia 2nd flower in this post https://artnotes2016.wordpress.com/2016/08/08/flowers-miscellaneous-sizes/ ‎
    I immediately recognized the rounded shape with the heart opening. Really like how the artist's structured surface for this piece!
