Reasons to Smile

Artist: Mandy Johnson
Sponsor: Active Essex

Using vibrant colour and playful illustrations, this design aims to stop people in their tracks and lift their mood. With a focus on the joy and benefit of movement, the details reward closer looking and repeat visits, while reinforcing the sculpture’s central aim: to make people smile, whatever their age or background.

“Find Your Active: Move for your mind, is a campaign from Active Essex in partnership with Mind in Essex which celebrates the fact that everyone can enjoy the huge benefits of moving more, it’s just about finding what’s right for you.  Lions on the Loose is a fantastic opportunity for people to get outside, explore their community and experience the joy of movement and art.”
