Nelly
Created by: Radfield Care Home
Sponsored by: Dryad Education
Location: Leicester Print Workshop (window)
Overview
The clients thoroughly enjoyed creating Nelly. They began by sharing ideas about how they wanted Nelly to look, expressing their creativity and thinking about the message they wanted her to convey. The design on the sculpture represents the idea that we are all equal, while each of us is unique in our own way. Nelly brought joy to all the clients, and they can’t wait to see her take pride of place on the trail.
