Sheep and Wool…

The real thing: a farming friend’s sheep and lamb
The abstract: sheep mural on the former International Wool Secretariat building in Ilkley

The sprained ankle led me to a physiotherapy appointment today and en route I couldn’t resist a photo of the impressive entrance to the former International Wool Secretariat building in Ilkley. Created in 1968, this grade 2 listed public art scuplture graced the building for around 40 years. Called “The Story of Wool”, it depicts abstract sheep and wool processing and was created by artist William George Mitchell.
