post: BEECH / OAK / CHESTNUT / BIRCH; plaque on post: Following in the Footsteps / Artist Rachel Carter was / commissioned to design and / create a series of public art works / for the new residential / development. Inspiration came / from the surrounding countryside, / the community of Mickleover’s / past and present and the University / campus that once stood here. The / sculpture represents growth and is / represented in the natural form of a seed pod and seeds; plaque on post: Sculpture / in Mickleover // During the research and / development phase of this / commission, information began to / emerge about a sculpture that / once stood on this site. The search / for the Missing Sculpture took the / artist on an interesting journey of / discovery into Mickleover’s past / which took Rachel back to her / own roots; plaque on post: Makeover / Past and Present // The commission delved into the / history of the town to see how / events shaped the Mickleover of / today. / Derby Council is committed / towards improving the quality of / public spaces. Public art can make / a valuable contribution to the / quality and celebration of our green spaces.
