Andrew Smith, a very experienced artist, craftsman and tutor, trained at the RCA. He has a large portfolio of architectural commissions, from sculpture to functional metalwork.
Situated in a Modern Open Piazza on a redeveloped RAF Aerodrome, 'Flightpost' is a reference to gateways and portals as well as flight and take-off.
One post stands still in the open space, rather like a person, while the other element becomes animated and 'takes off' in to the sky in a manner referential to vertical take-off flying machines and rockets.
Also nearby are Swans, Handstanding, Suffolk Trinity, Green Wind, Formation, Man and Ball, Rhumba and Making Our Mark.
