mfimage 305 Reflections on Ruth

Sculpture of 'Ruth' in Bristol

‘Ruth’ is a striking, wildlife-friendly sculpture, created by the brilliant Bristol company Cod Steaks and located in Bennett’s Patch alongside The Portway, a main access to the city. The sculpture honours the work of women during World War II. The location was once a dumping ground for rubble created by the blitz. Today, it is a nature reserve. The ‘reflection’ and soaring gull are mfimage additions to the original that seem to recognise the piece’s thoughtful content and empathy with the environment in which it sits.
