Man with Cup (2008)

view map

Man with Cup (2008)
The height at which this figure is shown and his pose, holding something in his hand, brings to mind images of saints presenting their attributes,
but instead he offers a simple coffee cup.
Salisbury Cathedral

Imagine our surprise when we saw this sculpture perched atop this column outside of the Salisbury Cathedral, which was closed.
We had no idea that Sean Henry was displaying his sculptures in the cathedral until we paid our admission fee the next morning!
