Keir made this artwork in 1999 in memory of Roy Kitchin, sculptor, teacher and founder of Ironbridge Open Air Museum, where this work was displayed. It was sited in Grizedale in 2014 and is positioned in the visitor centre just outside the cafe by the stream. Inside the cafe building you can get eye level with the artwork when you look out of the window.
