A prizewinning sculptor has been awarded the £45,000 commission for a public artwork that will be sited at the new St Rollox Church in Glasgow.
Angus-based Michael Visocchi, who was the youngest artist to be elected to the Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture, was chosen from a ield of 21 artists to create an artwork envisaged as a landmark and iconic focal point for the community in the Sighthill regeneration area.
The artwork will be mounted on a wall of the new St Rollox building and will feature a series of 86 crosses in 33 different styles, one for every year of Jesus’ life. It will be made of Jesmonite, a new material.
