Four cylindrical posts, set in a raggedy row, backed by national shrubs and overlooking a broad lawn. Modern standing stones!
Detail of one steel pole: it’s made from narrow vertical strips, riveted into place, and each strip is engraved with a series of numbers and symbols.
A huge torus shape, clearly made by the same artist. A section is missing, large enough for an adult to step through and stand in the centre. The outside surface is engraved with a grid pattern with a number or symbol etched into many (but not all) of the boxes.
Mathematical art by Adrian Page (1945–2010). Laser-cut, hand-folded stainless steel, 2008.
