Also reminds me of the sculpture by @ianwolter.bsky.social commemorating Kindertransport refugees arriving in Harwich, UK. www.ianwolter.com/contemporary... Back when we treated refugee children with greater kindness than today.

Over the last year or so I’ve been working with the Fry Art Gallery: a fantastic museum which holds the national collection of the Great Bardfield Artist. My sculpture will be permanently installed outside the main entrance. Watch this space…! #sculpture #publicart

Safe Haven - the #Kindertransport memorial on the #Harwich quayside, where almost 10,000 children arrived to evade the Holocaust, but most never saw their families again. On Holocaust Memorial Day (today) we remember both those who reached safety, and those who were murdered. .

Krystyna Skarbek was Britain’s first female special agent of WW2. This memorial to her was commissioned by Ognisko Polskie, the Polish Hearth Club, London. She’s also the subject of @claremulley.bsky.social fantastic book ‘the Spy Who Loved’. #sculpture #figurativesculpture #art #militaryart

An extra artwork for today! In 2018 I created the Children of Calais to highlight the plight of children caught up in the migration crisis. It’s based on the Burghers of Calais by Rodin. Today I bumped into Rodin’s Burghers at the Met in #NewYork ! #figurative #sculpture #politicalart #TheMet
