The Fallowfield Loop Sculptures - in progress

I originally wanted to capture the movement that occurs on the Loop but when I started making sketches and maquettes it became apparent to me that a majority of users were families, and that it would be fitting for the project and my own practice to develop this theme. At the present time I am concentrating on creating a male, female and child. The male is cut very angular and solid contrasting with the female which in my mind will be soft curvaceous and rounded (she has not been cut yet). The child is to have no obvious sexual orientation but rather hold characteristics from the two 'adults'.
You can see male and child in progress.

Fallowfield Loop Sculpture Project

I am in the process of making three sculptures for The Fallowfield Loop. The Loop is an eight mile stretch of cycle/pedestrian/walkway through Chorlton, Fallowfield and Levenshulme. I got funding through discussing the project with Sustrans, (they own the route) that led me to Friends of Fallowfield Loop who have embraced the project with such enthusiasm it has really been great.

You can find out more at www.cycle-routes.org/fallowfieldloopline.

Friends of the Fallowfield Loop have been funded by the National Lottery through Awards for All.
