Armillary Sphere
Armillary Sphere by Justin Tunley (1995)
Located in the Labyrinth and designed in 1995 to celebrate the 10th anniversary of MK Housing Association and their development as Midsummer Housing. The brief was to use something related to the Midsummer Housing logo of a sundial; the result was the Armillary Sphere set into the Labyrinth. Constructed in laser cut steel with stone carving, the date in Roman and Arab numerals ‘MCMXCV’ denotes the unveiling in 1995 on Midsummer’s Day.
Local artist Justin Tunley was educated at the Royal College of Art in London and has created public art pieces for various places across the UK often working in steel. You can see another of Justin's art works locally at Willen Park as part of the Gyoesi Trail.
The Armillary Sphere can be found in the labyrinth area of Campbell Park. What3words location ///dictation.crackling.harsh
