| 説明 | The old Naburn swing bridge over the river Ouse once carried the 'Flying Scotsman' on its way north. Now the bridge carries route 65 of the National Cycle network and is owned by Sustrans and is now the home to a sculpture by artist Pete Rogers, featuring a fisher (man or woman), a bike and a dog.It is entitled the Fisher of DreamsThe Fisher of Drearns sculpture on this bridge over the River Ouse near Naburn south of York was created by local artist Pete Rogers. In this project. Pete Rogers worked with local people to design a sculpture tor the bridge. To involve the community in this project. Pete Rogers held an Open Day on the bridge in October 2000. This generated many drawings models and descriptions of possible sculptures that could enhance the bridge. From these contributions. Pete Rogers made models of three possiblesculptures. One depicted the Flying Scotsman, one a group of people who now use he bridge and the third-model depicted the 'Fisher of Dreams'. In January 2001 the models were displayed in local schools in Naburn post-office. Bishopthorpe library, Tesco's in Dringhouses and on the bridge itself. As a result ofthese exhibitions a total of more than 800 people voted for their favourite design and the clear winner, with more than 50% of the vote. was the Fisher of Dreams.The tranquil Fisher, deliberately neither male or female, dreams his (or her) dream, by the river bank, of a time when the ‘Flying Scotsman' still steamed over this bridge. Everything seems idyllic but always remember it's just when all seems right with the world, that's there's a dog behind you peeing on your bike ! |
