New artwork 'to offer hope and healing to veterans'

The artwork was originally displayed in a major London exhibition

An artwork dedicated to offering "hope and healing" has been installed at a veterans' campus.

The Transformers was created by ceramic artist Christie Brown and has now been donated to veterans homing charity Entrain Space, which has installed it at its site at the former Erskine Barracks in Wilton near Salisbury in Wiltshire.

Made of fired clay, the sculpture was originally shown as part of a major London exhibition at Wapping Hydraulic Power Station in 2000.

Ms Brown said: "The key idea behind the making of The Transformers was to offer hope and healing through a transformational experience. I hope the inspiration behind this work can contribute to that process at Entrain Space."

Entrain Space provides homes and support for veterans and military-service leavers who need support transitioning from military life.

Matthew Bell, founder of Entrain Space, said the thought-provoking piece and looks incredible on their courtyard.

"It's accessible for everyone at Entrain Space to appreciate and adds to our sense of shared community and quality of environment," he added.
