Igloo

Igloo, 2011 
Stuart Haygarth
Today I saw this sculpture by Stuart Haygarth at Haunch of Venison, Bond Street, in a show that brings together several sculptors over two floors. This was probably my favourite piece in the exhibition, possibly because as Tessa pointed out, it looks like an upside down chandelier. Ever the classy type.
It reminds me of the glasses we have in Cornwall, where no two are really the same. At New Year we had a party in Cornwall, where the conditions could have been likened to an igloo if it were not for an enormous space heater and bonfire. The theme was Fire and Ice.
Quite annoying as I don't have better photos but we decorated in a way that was so icy-looking it would've done an eskimo proud.
 
Igloos are pretty cool. (No pun intended).
