Images of: 'Bear' by David Mayne (2005)
Location: The Bear Pit, Botanical Gardens

Rusting of the Bear took place rapidly - much to the alarm of those who had seen the Bear on its installation.
The transformation was intentional and the colour of the Bear has now settled to an even, and stable, brown.
