The 40 Environment Trust trustees voted at their last meeting on the 5 finalist sculptures.
Today Joseph Pecorelli from the Environment Trust announced the winners of the project that he ran with the Year 10 Creative and Media Diploma pupils.
The task was to create a piece of public art to be installed on the Twickenham riverside.
It was to be inspired by the stretch of the River Thames that runs through the borough of Richmond.
The pupils drew inspiration from areas such as: the river gods and spirituality; industry; history; heritage wildlife; environment; leisure and pleasure.
The pupils had to consider the factors involved if their sculpture won and was then enlarged and made professionally as a public sculpture on the riverside at Twickenham.
After many trips, workshops, proposing of ideas, and then constructing and finessing these, three winners were chosen:
1st: Skye Reilly
2nd Fernanda Alves De Lima
3rd: Laila Elsidawi
The pupils were all awarded with prizes such as portable solar charges and a device for monitoring how much electricity they use in their home.
Skye’s winning sculpture “River Goddess” was based on the river as she thought it chaotic and powering and therefore her goddess.
