Derriford Follow-Up

A little follow-up (and rant) on a project that went to sleep.

My previous post is here, but in a nutshell:

In 2014 all 1st and 2nd year Contemporary Craft students were asked to come up with design boards for various projects.  I picked a sculpture for the main entrance to Derriford Hospital.   After 3 cycles of  designing and model-making, 4 proposals were shortlisted, mine being one of them.  We went along to Derriford to present our projects, some voting took place, the results were disseminated, and then.....

SILENCE 

After a few months I emailed the person in charge of the project at Derriford, asking what the status was.  

NO REPLY    


It's pretty maddening (and incredibly discourteous of her) considering the amount of time and effort that was spent on this project by myself and other students.

Anyhow, I recently visited Derriford and guess what's in the spot reserved for the sculpture:
