The Emily Bronte Sand Sculpture

In the town of Brad­ford, near Leeds in the UK, they’ve import­ed more than 30 tons of sand to build nine sand sculp­tures across the city, as part of what’s called the Dis­cov­er­ing Brad­ford project. Above, you can see one that caught our eye, thanks to the Vin­tage Anchor twit­ter stream. It’s a life-size sand sculp­ture of Emi­ly Bron­të, cre­at­ed by Jamie Ward­ley, an artist who belongs to the col­lec­tive, Sand in Your Eye. Bron­të was born in Thorn­ton, a short hop, skip and a jump away from Brad­ford. For more cul­tur­al­ly-inspired sand cre­ations, see the Relat­eds below.
