Matthew Greenwood Memorial Bench

An Oak log bench in memory of Matthew Greenwood who died at the age of 21 due to metastatic bone cancer. I found myself lost in deep thought a great deal while making this piece. I have no idea how parents cope with losing a 21 year old who had achieved so much and had so much still to give and experience. There are references to rowing, piano playing, some chess pieces and some education. It resides at Queen Mary's School, Walsall.
