'Nottingham Forest', Hoodwinked 2018, Victoria Centre
'Hoodwinked: a twist on the tale' was a city-wide art project that ran from July 7th to September 30th, with 33 large plastic robins placed around the city on a walking trail. Each bird was decorated with a particular theme relating to where they were placed and the businesses sponsoring them. The theme of robins was chosen due to the city's famous connection with the legendary outlaw, Robin Hood.
This bird was titled 'Nottingham Forest', was sponsored by the intu Victoria Centre and was designed by Kathleen Smith. It celebrated Sherwood Forest, near to the city.
