Encompass, by sculptor Michael Speller
Encompass, by local sculptor Michael Speller, was inspired by the support given to beneficiaries by the Greenwich Hospital. The interwoven figures, conjure up sailors climbing the rigging of a tall ship, culminate in a domed roof that reference the famous twin domes of Sir Christopher Wren's Royal Naval College.
The piece incorporates "found objects' from the Thames, tools and objects used by craft workers in the market, films set on location in the area here and words, donated by local school children, that are associated with Greenwich. Both objects and text have been impressed upon the figures thereby giving some degree of uniformity to the sculpture.
