Sculpture
Located outside Blackwood Miners' Institute, the sculpture is called The Ring of Eternity by Sebastien Boyesen. Inspiration for the piece came from the following text: "All things from Eternity are of like forms and come around in a full Circle".

Blackwood Miner's Welfare Institute
Known as Blackwood Miners' Institute. Funded by threepence deductions from local miner's weekly wagepackets and is dated 1925 - the year prior to the General Strike. In its early heyday it offered dances, snooker and billiards tables, reading rooms, library, rehearsal rooms and meeting rooms for local clubs, groups and societies, a ladies room, stage and auditorium and a focal point for the town. It fell into disrepair and decay in the 1970's and 1980's and was taken over by the local council who regenerated it and today it enjoys a second heyday.

Blackwood Miners Institute
With a lovely piece of public art - a sculpture of a ring doughnut with a bite taken out and then discarded, symbolising the sweetness and satisfaction of life and how this is often overlooked in our shallow existences where we are so easily distracted by the next thing to catch our eye or stimulate our tastebuds.
I expect. Or something else altogether. Who knows?
