It Takes Two

“It Takes Two” by Bob Allen, 2002
Canada Square Park, Canary Wharf
London, January 2005

“It Takes Two is a bronze cast of an original carving in English yew from the fallen bough of an ancient tree listed in the Doomsday Book. Bob Allen takes his inspiration from nature, often carving in wood using traditional tools and working in the open air. His aim is to reveal the hidden quality in the wood he uses, and in this case when he started work it was the female form that emerged first, later complemented with a male form. They are locked together in a dance, entwined and inseparable.” (It Takes Two, Canary Wharf Group)
