Andy Plant

Sculptor

Combining a background of sculpture, engineering, and transforming theatre sets, Andy Plant has been making interactive mechanical sculpture for 25 years.

‘As much performance as visual art, the work combines mechanics and engineering, a sense of place and a sense of humour.’

‘We wanted to commission something that resonated with local people’s memories and set the public space in the context of the whole town… above all a piece that was fun with a big wow factor…. Andy delivered to all the objectives of the brief.’
