Item Overview

Description

Michael Sandle (1936-) is a British sculptor and artist. His works include several public sculptures, many relating to themes of war, death or destruction. His work has been critical of what he describes as the "heroic decadence" of capitalism and its involvement in global conflict. The Ghost Series, a profoundly moving reflection on the First World War, was an inspired commission by the Canadian Cascadia Publications Group. The ‘ultimate’ three-dimensional form to emerge from the Ghost Series would be a memorial foot-bridge to one of the war’s ‘pals’ regiments’. Pals’ regiments were a British way of encouraging recruitment and esprit de corps by letting friends who volunteered together fight in the same units. It often led to communities being decimated for a generation. Sandle had in mind a group of pals from a district of the Yorkshire city of Leeds, who were killed almost to a man on the infamous first day of the battle of the Somme, 1 July 1916. Etching II features soldiers under fire cross a damaged metal bridge. In figure II soldiers are larger and the leading man has been shot. The dramatic diagonals of the bridge gleam in the enfolding darkness. 100% of the proceeds from the sale of this item go towards Island Mountain Arts (Wells, BC) (www.imarts.com).
