00:22So we've brought Henry Moore to Kew Gardens because it feels like a really natural synergy.

00:26Henry Moore was always inspired by the natural world, he would often pick up pebbles when

00:31he was walking along the beach or stones from his stew pot and having these monumental

00:35sculptures here at Kew in our 320 acres of World UNESCO heritage site is a really exciting

00:41opportunity to have that sort of dialogue between art and nature.

01:05I think people connect with monumental sculptures like this one because they allow us to experience

01:11them in a way that is not the typical experience of sculpture that most of us have in mind.

01:17That idea that you see something on a plinth and it is sort of outside of our world.

01:23With a piece like this you can actually walk through it, you can experience it in a very

01:29physical way and from the middle looking out which is one of the ways in which Moore encouraged

01:34us to experience this work.

01:36the way that is.
