Sculptures

As part of the Tales of the River side of the project Watford Borough Council, funded by the National Lottery Heritage Fund commissioned an artist to complete a sculptural piece or pieces to compliment the river. 

In 2024 Tamara Froud of Moasic Art Ltd. was successful in tendering for the sculptures and began working on what would become three pieces along the river on Radlett Road. 

The three pieces are inspired by the River Colne and its environment. One piece is a lump of chalk, due to the river being  a chalk stream, another is a dragonfly resting on a rock to reflect some of the wildlife found along the river and the third is a log from a tree. All of these are there to be interacted with and to reflect the environment they are to be situated in. 

Part of the development saw the artist working with local schools to design a River Guardian, which would then go on to influence the final artworks. Out of all the drawings of River Guardians submitted to the project, a final few were chosen and and will be included on the the three pieces. 
All of the pieces though will be featured in an exhibition in the local area.

Install of the three pieces will be happening on the week begging 11 August 2025.
