Vega Bermejo
'Mad Hatter' and 'Queen of Hearts', 1994
Retail Park, Queens Road
Birchover Gritstone
Location:
Retail Park, Queens Road. (A-Z p 99 5F)

Description:
Stone carved Queen of Hearts, character from Alice in Wonderland.

Commission:
Stadium Developers, the same company as at Meadowhall Retail Park where Bermejo's 'Marble Players' are located.

Comment:
Originally the developers hoped for four pieces, two larger than those completed, unfortunately budget restrictions intervened. The choice of subject was suggested by the artist. The figures were carved on site, in one of the then-empty retail outlets.
