The Lamb

A second permanent art installation by Kenny Hunter was installed in St George's Lane. The bronze work addresses a diverse range of historical, religious and contemporary social currents through its singular sculptural form - a lamb standing on a tree stump. This organic, pastoral composition contrasts strongly with its location. The result is an intimate, tactile and ancient form placed within a busy public environment of modernity.

Kenny Hunter's inspiration for the work includes William Blake's 'Jerusalem', the hymn being synonymous with English identity and yearning for social justice."
