Hanley: Hunt for permanent home for poverty sculpture
BBCA new piece of public art in Stoke-on-Trent may have a permanent home in the new year, organisers said.
The Tightrope was unveiled in Hanley Park on Sunday by Save the Children who said it aimed to highlight issues of families in poverty.
The sculpture depicts a child and a single mother carrying bags while walking on a high wire.
The group said the art was in the park for just one day but they have begun to hunt for a permanent location.
The bronze cast was made by Stoke-on-Trent artist Carl Payne who helped create a memorial to football legend Sir Stanley Matthews at Stoke City's ground.
