The brief was to model in low relief the new Bearing of Arms
of the created Authority and surround this with the shields of
the four original local councils. Our original design proposal
of presenting the Bearing of Arms on a background of simulated
slate and making the shields the same shape and proportion as
existing ones around the top of the Chamber were accepted. The resin-slate base is 1370mm. in diameter, the shields are 305mm x 380mm. The depth of the modelling was restricted because nothing could project from the wall more than 50mm to allow an existing projector screen to be lowered in front of the work when required. This sculpture commission was finished with the application of enamel paints and 22ct. gold leaf. |
