Terence Lister sculptures


Saltaire Festival 2019
One of Saltaire's larger gardens on Albert Road was hosting a number of sculptures by Terence Lister, an artist based in Huddersfield. Most of them were depictions, in one form or another, of the human body. I really liked the wooden panel, below, which used the wood grain as well as some gentle carving to subtly suggest the curves and shaping of a nude torso.


This wooden head also had so much character:


Two figures that might suggest Adam and Eve were placed beside a tomato plant - a love apple. I'm sure that wasn't an accidental placement.


These were attractive displays of very good work. Much of it appealed to me. Pity I'm not wealthy!

  1. I really like the wooden head and how the beard hangs down.

  2. The timber ones would be nice in a garden. I like the bearded man best.
