Sculpture made from bread, National Justice Museum, Nottingham

50 loaves of stale bread have been shaped into a head in an exhibition called Ingenuity. The artist says “He may look like a big tough chap, but he is actually quite a delicate flower. Please treat him with the love and care by which he was made, so we can all look after him together for everyone to enjoy.” Ingenious, indeed, and it was made by people living in prison. Does the artwork change in your eyes, once you know know it was made by a prisoner?
