· A fitting memorial to a supremely talented and iconic sportsman who was born and bred in the village and never forgot his roots; and
· A peaceful area where local people and visitors may come to spend a period of tranquility
The design I have chosen for my Memorial garden is a celebration of Terry Prices’ career and life as a sportsman. My aim is to pay tribute to Price and inspire young people; current and future sports people towards a bright future.
The Sculpture Department in my college was lucky enough to have the opportunity to propose designs and ideas for a memorial garden worth £30,000 for the Welsh rugby legend Terry Price. I was very grateful and honoured to have been awarded the commission.
The design I proposed had a very traditional aspect to it and a strong theme of rugby. My aim is to cast a life size figure in Iron and Bronze in relation to Terry Price's height, weight and measurements with an accurate and detailed face using the 3D Printing process. Due to his fantastic rugby skills he was a Welsh dual-code international rugby union, league and American football player in the 1960's and 70's. As he is mostly known for playing for Llanelli, Wales and the British Lions, these logos will play a crucial part in the garden. The next step now is to work closely with the Terry Price Memorial Committee in order to create and bring this design to life.
