Exterior detail:
Location: Crucible Theatre. Opposite Chapel Walk. Description: The relief shows an angel descending through clouds bearing a shoe, she is surrounded by other shoes. The shoe held by the angel is modelled on the artist's own wedding shoe. Commission: One of the pieces made during the Stone City Symposium , (19 June and 16 July 1995). Five sculptors carved five stone pieces to be included in the city centre. Each artist made five intial designs for the five different sites. Paula HAUGHNEY was selected to carve a piece to be installed at the end of Chapel Walk facing the Crucible. The plaque by the piece records: 'Sponsored by Foundation for Sport and the Arts, Sheffield City Council, Sheffield Hallam University and Sheffield Development Corporation. With Thanks to Sheffield Theatres & Chapel Walk Traders' Comment: The working title was 'The Angel and the Shoe'. The artist married her partner in hospital just before he died; this gives the piece considerable poignancy. Artist's Statement: (from the publicity leaflet for Stone City) "My sculpture often depicts figurative subjects; simple large rounded childlike and naive, with benign faces. I hope they relate to the viewer in a spiritual almost unconscious way. Expressive and emotional, sometimes with a sense of humour. Not contemporary in a modern sculptural way but dealing with timeless issues and feelings." |
