Mother and Child - details

The sculptor was Terry McDonald, and he made two Maternity statues, one for Birmingham Women's Hospital, and the other for Liverpool Women's Hospital in 1999.

The statue is near the car park and close to Mindelsohn Way.

The artist used fibreglass and resin as it was cheaper than acquiring bronze for the piece.

The figure in Liverpool is 12 foot high, so we have to assume the Birmingham equivalent is the same size.
