THE latest in a series of major artworks has been installed at a Newton Aycliffe school.
The Winds of Change is a stone sculpture in three pieces created by Sunderland based artists Dave Paton and Colin Wilbourne for Greenfield Community and Arts College.
The £16,000 sculpture, funded by a National Lottery grant through the Arts Council, was carved from three pieces of Dunhouse stone, which were lowered into position last week.
The smallest block is an image of houses, with faces peering from windows, which was the first thing the artists noticed when they visited the school.
The largest stone, which is 6ft square, depicts a scene from Shakespeare's comic play A Midsummer Night's Dream, representing the arts theme of the college, and the middle stone links the other two.
The final piece of artwork in the project will be a cycle storage area, to be designed by Paul Lewthwaite, with the help of pupils.
