Reflections of Bedford

Kirby was chosen after winning a Public National Art exhibition to design a new sculpture for the town.

[2] The pedestal of the sculpture is also inlaid with blue and purple coloured spotlights, which turn on at night to illuminate the statue.

The backs of the scultpures are entirely flat, although one has a plaque attached stating the artist, name, and date of the work.

At installation, the statues were rather controversial [1][3] due to their cost of £100,000, and an alleged lack of public consultation.

In addition, the bust of Trevor Huddleston was moved to make space for the faces.
