The 'Knife Angel' was created by Alfie Bradley at the National Ironwork Centre in Oswestry, Shrophire. Knives and other weapons collected from all forty three of the UK police forces were used in its construction and you can learn more about how and why it came into being by clicking here.
The statue is on tour round the country and is currently on display at Victoria Square in the heart of Birmingham. It exudes a brooding presence and is an utterly compelling piece of work. Do go and see it if you get a chance.
