Title:
‘Ewe and Eye’
Location:
The Hall Croft, Shepshed,
Leicestershire, 2004
Materials:
Green Westmoreland Slate,
French Limestone
Description:
The subject matter of this sculpture - a Border Leicester sheep and
her lamb – was chosen for the meaning of the town’s name – Sheep’s
Head. Carved approximately twice life size they are backed by a huge
slab of green slate bearing the name of the market place, the
contrast and size making them visible from the far end of the
street. On the reverse side is a double seat, again carved from
white limestone, which resembles rolled sheep fleeces with a pair of
shears lying on top. Encircling a dedication plaque above are hoof
prints of both ewe and lamb.
