Morris
Created by: Sian Tezel
Location: Bede Park – Stone Circle
Overview
Morris is inspired by the artist William Morris, who designed a wallpaper pattern named ‘Leicester’. Instead of the yellow daisies on the original design, artist Sian Tezel has substituted forget-me-nots to reference LOROS Hospice. Sian previously designed a sculpture for an art trail in Oxford and enjoyed the experience so much she wanted to do it again. “I was so impressed by the interaction with the audience and bringing of art outside a gallery. These trails make art truly accessible and I want to be part of that.”
