St Mary-le-Tower

Tam is a unique bronze sculpture located at the front of St Mary at the Elms church in Ipswich, Suffolk. Created by artist Honoria Surie in 1995, it depicts a teenage girl named Tam sitting cross-legged and molding a ball of clay, serving as an affectionate portrayal of the artist's daughter. This lifelike statue, artfully mounted on an irregular hexagonal stone plinth, reflects the themes of creativity and youth, making it a noteworthy landmark in the Eastern England area. The sculpture not only captures the essence of Tam but also highlights the humor of her contrasting punk image at the time of the sculpture's unveiling. Generated from the website
