Our daughter Lucy was kind enough to send several shots of the sculpture in this collage. She found it while exploring in London with her children. I created the collage from two of her shots
The sculpture can be found in Moormead and Bandy recreation ground, St Margarets, in Richmond upon Thames, south-west London.
It was created from the stump of a tree that was in very poor condition, and which had to be removed for safety reasons. The top of the tree was cut down in 2018, and the sculpture was carved by wood carver Derek Pearce in 2019. The QR code below the carving links to a song called ‘self made man’.
What an original idea. I shall have to wander over to that side of London sometime. Have not been in the Richmond area for years, it's very nice there.
Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated. Lucy will be thrilled that it made the Popular Page when I tell her.
Sorry for the late responses, Katharine and I have been out on a Moorsbus trip today (see next post).
I rather like this sculpture. Hopefully I might get to see it when I finally get round to visiting Lucy.

I was fascinated by these shots from Lucy. Hopefully when I next visit her we might get a look at it.
