drawings or prototypes<br />
and a group of finalists<br />
presented their designs<br />
to Ms Trappitt and Mrs<br />
Jackson for judging. Otis’<br />
design was selected.<br />
Ms Trappitt project<br />
managed, engineered and<br />
partly funded the fabrication<br />
of the sculpture.<br />

materials.<br />
Avon City Ford panel<br />
