I was very excited to hear last week that the design I had submitted to the Wow!Gorillas event had been commissioned.
For 10 weeks in the summer this year, around 50 life-size gorilla sculptures will inhabit the streets of Bristol, showcasing the wealth of artistic talent in the area, while highlighting the significant conservation threat facing wild gorillas and how the Bristol business community can make a difference. The event also coincides with the 175 year celebrations of Bristol Zoo.
The brief was simply to take a blank, white 5ft tall gorilla sculpture and produce a design of how you would decorate it.
My gorilla is "Super G - Downhill Racer"
Watch this space to see his progress, can't wait to start on the actual sculpture!
