tata steel shotton set the brief: capture the spirit of the business, its place in the community and its move onto the international stage across 125 years. i entered during a levels and revised the design through several rounds, presenting each version to a panel of judges and manufacturers from the works.
i was selected as the winner and awarded a cash prize. the winning piece was fabricated from tata's own steel products by the college welding team. i oversaw production, turning drawing into something that could be cut, formed and welded at full scale.
it stands in the gardens at shotton today and continues to be visited by the community.
