A closer look at two sculptures we've often seen from the bus - Jelly Baby Family by Mauro Perucchetti, and Horse at Water by Nic Fiddian-Green -
Jelly babies are a key symbol for Perucchetti - they symbolize the disposability that permeates all aspects of contemporary consumer society, and he uses them to mock the aspirations that this society so often cynically betrays (and they are sited to gaze forever down that consumer hub, Oxford Street).Fiddian-Green has been true to the form of the horse's head for 25 years. See his works in progress at the studio and foundry here.
