This sculpture at Sheffield Forgemasters (SFIL) was built by the company's apprentices using recycled materials found on the 64-acre site. The 21 volunteer apprentices all came from various departments within SFIL, including, forge, foundry, south machine shop, melt shop, and research and development. The internationally know sculptor Robin Widowson from Gotham-D was lead designer of the project along with associate artist Sara Bevan. The Olympic gold medalist Nicola Adams unveiled the sculpture, as was reported by the Yorkshire Post on 13 June 2013. Also see Image
