Brixton Twins

The work takes the form of two large egg-shaped sculptures that are identical in shape, but different in appearance, having been cast using the same mould but in different metals.

One has a polished metal finish that reflects the sky and the surrounding buildings, the other has a non-reflective rich orange brown oxidised iron finish. The polished metal sculpture has symbols, patterns and designs etched into its surface.

The artwork has been funded through a “section 106 obligation” (A legal agreement between a local authority and a developer linked to planning permission) with additional funding for the community engagement element coming from the government’s Working Neighbourhoods Fund.
