Be photographed for ‘Mother and Child (Luton)’

Scott King will involve local people to reconstruct Henry Moore’s famous series of sculptures ‘Mother and Child’, works that were made during the 1920s through to the 1960s, and which became a staple for civic public sculpture during the post-war era in the UK.

Titled ‘Mother and Child (Luton)’, new images taken by photographer Aleksandra Warchol will result in a series of projected impressions of mothers and their children from the local community. A selection of which will be shown in sequence between September and December 2016 on the Culture Wall on the corner of Bute Street and Guildford Street.

Henry Moore's 'Mother & Child' - the inspiration for Scott King's 'Home Fires Burning' as part of the public realm arts project.
