LIME Award Commission

This is a rather belated post due to other uni commitments, but at the beginning of the year I entered a competition to design Leeds Institute for Medical Education (LIME), which was presented to five members of staff for outstanding commitment to teaching.

My main focus for the piece is two hands 'passing' knowledge from a old hand to a young one, with the knowledge being symbolised by a glass heart with the medical symbol (Asclepius).

The hands are made from cold cast bronze, and supported by acrylic rods mounted in a spalted beech stand.
