A NEW temporary sculpture celebrating movement and Salisbury has been installed on High Street.

Salisbury BID, with funding from Arts Council England, commissioned artist Tim Scrace to create the sculpture, This Too Will Pass.

The sculpture celebrates the themes of movement and reflection and incorporates hand-selected stones from Salisbury Cathedral’s works yard.

Tim said: “I am keen for the sculpture to be interactive, a place and a platform for the community to reflect on the past, make sense of this moment and to build a better future.”

It is made from polished stainless steel, recycled paper and local Chilmark stone.

The sculpture is in three parts and people are encouraged to move between them to stop and reflect.

Salisbury BID originally commissioned the sculpture as part of City on the Move, the 800th anniversary celebrations of Salisbury Cathedral last year, but installation was delayed by the closure of non-essential businesses during the pandemic.

The sculpture is funded by Arts Council England’s National Lottery Funding Grant.

The sculpture will remain in place throughout the summer.
