Tommy In Memory
£12.50
Tommy photographed square-on under flat seafront light, head bowed and rifle at his knee, with the red poppy wreath at his feet holding the only colour in the frame. The steel, the pebbles and the coast behind fall away in monochrome. Portrait format, made for remembrance.
Tommy is Ray Lonsdale's corten steel sculpture of a Great War soldier in the first minute of peace, standing on Terrace Green by the seafront at Seaham. Displayed temporarily in 2014, he became permanent after local residents raised the £102,000 to keep him, handing the money over on the centenary of the war's outbreak.
