Gives dimensions but not weight, and not much behind the motivation/manufacturers.

Interesting.

I love the sculpture but the supports need effective camouflage.

I agree in principle but what background should they camouflage against? The green grass? The blue sky?

I think removing that crane will probably help the overall effect.

IIRC the 'camouflage' was going to be a stream of poppies.
