Taken from the artist’s distinctive Stack series, the 11.5-foot bronze sculpture by Annie Morris comprises a tall column of precariously arranged irregular spheres. The colour palette, including vivid blues, deep reds and vibrant greens, reflects both the busy outdoor environment of the city but also the stunning natural landscape that surrounds Yorkshire, a great source of inspiration to Morris whilst preparing for her first institutional solo show at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park in 2021.
The sculpture is outside the West Yorkshire History Centre, a purpose-built archive that holds the history of the West Riding of Yorkshire from 1194, including records of births, marriages and deaths. These symbolic themes are echoed in Morris’s practice, which touches on vulnerability and strength, grief and renewal, hope, uncertainty, rebirth and creativity.
