\n Standing 3.6 metres tall and crafted from galvanised steel, the piece now sits at Cygnet Rise in Swaffham and was created by North Elmham blacksmith Toby Winterbourn.\n<\/p>\n
\n It was commissioned by Abel Homes as part of its ongoing public art programme, with this marking the 17th commission since it announced the project in 2008.\n<\/p>\n
\n Tony Abel, chairman of Abel Homes, said: “At Abel Homes, we believe building new homes isn\u2019t just about bricks and mortar; it\u2019s about people, and creating genuine new communities.\n<\/p>\n
\n “Our public artwork programme is designed to provide a focal point for those communities, a place where residents can meet and chat.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The aim of commissioning these public artworks is to help to start to bind the threads of each new community together, through sparking conversations and giving a sense of shared ownership.”\n<\/p>\n
\n This is the first collaboration between Abel Homes and Mr Winterbourn, who has been an artist blacksmith since 2009.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Standing 3.6 metres tall and crafted from galvanised steel, the piece now sits at Cygnet Rise in Swaffham…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":760479,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6225,6485,6486,1120,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-760478","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-arts-and-design","tag-arts","tag-arts-and-design","tag-artsanddesign","tag-design","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/760478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=760478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/760478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/760479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=760478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=760478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=760478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
