Opening Ceremony for Rotherham Hospital Sculpture


Back in November a group of our students submitted designs for The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust (TRFT) to design a memorial to remember all the people who have donated organs and tissues for transplantation, and to recognise those that have benefited from these transplants.

 
Eight students in all submitted designs and Charlotte Cash’s ‘Lotus Flower’ was chosen.  Charlotte worked with the Artist Clinton Challanor to carve the sculpture with help from fellow student Lucy green and  Ngaire Burston who designed the open evening invite.  After much hard work from the students involved, Clinton and Lyn Hodnett (who expertly managed the project in Bev’s absence) the opening ceremony took place on Tuesday 26th February.  Attended by the Mayor, clinicians and people affected by the issued around organ and tissue donation the opening was a great success. Charlotte was presented with her prize (an Ipad!) by the Mayor and we all enjoyed seeing the finished piece displayed so beautifully. We in the Art Department are very proud to have one of our students produce such a fantastic piece of work which will be on display for years to come.  Well done Charlotte and a huge thank you to Clinton Challanor and Lyn.

Charlotte's sculpture can be seen can be seen on the wall, in the seating area, opposite Boots, at Rotherham Hospital.
