Industry and nature have always existed in harmony.
The strong metal form of The Steel City Lion symbolises Sheffield’s industrial history and its strength in the face of adversity, while delicate 3D flowers reflect the enduring wilderness.
Artist Vanessa Mountain has incorporated 3D elements into this sculpture, creating a delicate balance of metal and moss, flowers and factory, wild and weld.
