Andy Edwards has created an 8ft piece and called it All Together Now, which is also the name of a song by The Farm that describes the unique truce that took place during World War One.
Having had its official unveiling in the Bombed Out Church in Liverpool, the fibreglass statue has been taken temporarily to Liverpool Cathedral. It is set to be displayed on the pitch at the Britannia Stadium, home of Stoke City, prior to their encounter with Chelsea.
Edwards will be able to call on postcard printing in Stoke on Trent if he wants to produce souvenir Postcards of the sculpture for residents who are interested either in his artwork, or in the history of the First World War.
Speaking to the Stoke Sentinel, the artist said:
“The piece makes me think about friends, my friends who helped me put it together and the potteries workers who went out to the front 100 years ago, there’s an unbroken link.”
Although this work has been financed solely by Edwards and Castle Fine Arts Foundry, it is hoped that money can be raised to produce a permanent version out of bronze.Get a Free Quote for Postcards
