Great Places Housing Association ‘Obelisk’

I developed ideas for this Gateway Sculpture at the entrance to the estate with some of the residents.

The mosaiced front of the sculpture depicts images of wildlife while the back contains an abstract image.

As part of this project I etched the shapes of leaves from a local woodland into the newly cast coloured concrete walls of the community garden.
