Britain’s largest bronze sculpture - a giant figure of a crouching woman - glides into its new home in the coastal city of Plymouth
Britain's largest bronze sculpture"Messenger" is driven to Plymouth Theatre Royal through the city centre in Plymouth, Britain on March 18, 2019.
The seven-metre high artwork, showing an actress poised to leap into action, crossed the waters of Plymouth Sound and landed at the city’s Millbay Docks, dwarfing the hard-hatted crewmen below who did not even make it up to her knee. The figure, titled “Messenger,” was created by 44-year-old sculptor Joseph Hillier as part of a wider regeneration project for the southwest English city.
“If you walk around London, or any major city, there is lots of statuary of men on horseback, of men on podiums. This woman is very much on the ground, with a very dynamic pose, lots of diagonal lines, ready to take on that history.”
