"BALANCE" - Bergh Apton's Sculpture Trail '08: The theme of Bergh Apton's next Sculpture Trail is the concern, all over the world, that man's hand is behind the changing climate of our mother Earth. What mankind thinks he wants, rather than what he needs, is bringing us perilously close to what environmentalists call 'the tipping point' - think of a pair of scales or a seesaw - even the smallest extra weight will cause it to tip. In twelve garden locations in the village, we shall encourage sculptors to show works that ask how we balance the needs of mankind against those of the other species with which we share this Earth, and the needs of the planet itself. This small country community and its sculptor friends do not have solutions to the problem. But, together, we and visitors to the Sculpture Trail have voices that may be heard by those who do!
