Two of the six boulders.
Location: Traffic Island on Penistone Road (A 61) at the bottom of Hoyle Street. Paul Carruther's Lights and Vega Bermejo's 'Pigeons' (the latter now stolen) were visible from the traffic island.
Description: Large silhouettes of various forms of cutlery have been carved into six large gritstone boulders which were placed, some years before, at the three corners of a landscaped traffic island. Inspired by pattern books. Each boulder stands typically just under 2 metres high.
Commission: Sheffield City Council. Funding from European Regional Development Fund.
Comment: This should surely be a popular piece as it depicts in a straightforward manner items from Sheffield's industrial heritage which have contributed to the history of the city.
Update [2009]: This area has being re-developed but the boulders were replaced in the middle of a major roundabout - see Google maps < https://goo.gl/maps
