Millennium Bug & Offspring
GIANT ants and outsized chickens have taken over a police headquarters.
The sculptures will greet visitors to Durham Constabulary’s headquarters at Aykley Heads having taken up residence outside the building.
Three works have been donated to the Force for temporary display over the summer by acclaimed artist Graeme Hopper.
They are the ‘Millennium Bug and Offspring’, which took eight months to create, ‘Girl on a Swing’, and a group of abstract iron chickens.
Fellow local artist Ray Lonsdale, the man who created Tommy the soldier at Seaham, has also donated a piece of his latest work.
The statue of an elderly lady and little girl has been placed on a bench outside the building’s front entrance.
