Lady of the Water (1995) by Alannah Robins. Since I was a kid and visited the English Lake District regularly with my family, I’ve longed to get back to Grizedale forest to see some of the sculptures there. Given the wet woodland setting, not all of them last forever. Some become unsafe and are removed while others just rot away. This one is an amazing thirty years old. My favourites have always been those that make use of water. Lady of the Water also appeals because (to me) it also asks questions about gender and work and emotional labour - perhaps in ways that ten-year-old me would not have understood.
