Plans to site the sculpture near Wakefield Cathedral have been called 'offensive to Christians'.
By Chris Baynes & Tony GardnerThe creator of an Amazonian love god statue planned for display near Wakefield's cathedral has defended his artwork from complaints it would be "offensive to Christians".
Most of the 64 complaints take issue with its proposed location on Cathedral Walk, near to the entrance of The Ridings shopping centre. Another said "to put a symbol of a sun god in the vicinity of the cathedral" would be "an affront to our Christian heritage and our identity as a cathedral city".Wakefield-born Jason Wilsher-Mills is one of the artist's commissioned for the public art trail
He said it had been inspired by a painting of local Victorian conservationist Charles Waterton capturing a caiman, his parents' love, and his own connections with Wakefield.
