Walking forwards
At @talosartfoundry completing the „ chasing“ process on the bronze cast of „ Family Group“: welding and grinding the seams where sculpture parts have been reconstructed, so they become invisible.
In two weeks will be the last step in the long and laborious process of bronze casting, the PATINATION: colouring the sculpture by adding chemicals to the bronze surface, applied with heat emanating from a blowtorch
Unveiling of my sculpture “Walking Forwards” with the Duke of Gloucester at the Northampton Hospital
My public sculpture „Walking Forwards“ finally unveiled in its position in front of the south entrance of the Northampton Hospital. A welcoming sculpture for visitors, patients and health professionals walking through its doors; and a memorial to organ donors and their relatives. This sculpture symbolises the giving of the precious gift of life.
The figure at the front, the organ recipient, strides joyfully forwards into a new
life, their chest full like a billowing sail.
The donor stands close behind them, holding back. With their long cloak and head
tilted in affection, they loosely resemble a guardian angel, offering complete
commitment and support. Their back foot, stretched out but hardly touching the
ground, symbolises the leaving behind of this life, whilst also providing momentum
for the front figure, urging them on.
The organ is represented by the hole, equally shared by both figures: one losing their
life, the other receiving the organ. Their legs are intertwined like in a three-legged
race: the figures are melded by the great bond between organ donor and recipient,
despite having never met.
Beyond this specific context, the sculpture embodies the universal value of intimate
friendship: sharing common ground, empathy, support – the giving, and accepting, of
help and sacrifice.
