This sculpture was created to commemorate Carey’s centenary celebrations in 2023. The work consists of an energetic assemblage of curved yellow elements that recalls the School’s torchbearer emblem. This central totemic element is engaged by a cohort of small, brightly coloured wrens. These spritely birds evoke the student body. They present as a group, but their differing colours, body language and activities denote them as individuals with their own characteristics and motivations. The work speaks of the act and nature of learning and highlights the joy and wonder of the natural world.
