Grapevine

Look Out, There's a Stegosaurus About !

Sited in the gardens of Jesus College, Cambridge, this dinosaur is one of a group of three, sculpted by Jake and Dinos Chapman. They are visual artists whose work is quite controversial at times and the plaque describing this work has the slogan,
' The Meek shall inherit the Earth, but not the Mineral Rights'
The work is made of corton steel and recalls the use of schoolroom materials used by children in the construction of cardboard and papier mache dinosaurs, and was first shown in the Royal Academy's Courtyard in 2007. It is now on loan, courtesy of Jay Joplin and White Cube the contemporary art gallery.
I hope to photograph another of them at a later date.
