Badgerbrook Bubbles
Created by: Badgerbrook Primary School
Location: Phoenix Cinema and Arts Centre
Overview
The Tusk Force came together to discuss the design ideas for their sculpture. They wanted to incorporate the colours of the school and the ethos of what it means for everyone to work alongside each other in the face of adversity. Taking the recent flooding of our school as their inspiration and what this had meant as a community, and that although separated by location, we have kept our school spirit alive demonstrating that we are as strong as ever.
