To Dream of Freedom

Trefor Fôn Owen
c. 1995

Description

Leaping figure on three poles.

Annotation

PMSA writes: "The work can be seen as a symbol of the town trying to rise above the inertia of recession or as a leap towards a future in Europe (the figure is leaping towards Ireland). It may also be seen as a symbol of Welsh aspirations."

Sculptor

Trefor Fôn Owen, sculptor of Anglesey.
