Today I’m really overwhelmed by all the comments and messages around my Doncaster Heads critique. 🥰
Honestly, I do feel everyone had the best intention here, wanting to do something good for Doncaster and our heritage.
The whole concept of “The Listening Miner” is actually really nice and poetic and could work as a final statue. I just think it’s weird all our heads are on there. It looks like the Faceless Faces from Game Of Thrones. I am kinda mad that I did not speak-out sooner regarding my true feels. 😭
A Listening Miner statue, will be special when it is in the town centre. Because local people will campaign next to this statue. We will bring our banners and our social justice campaigns to the Listening Miner, it will be beautiful and poetic.
The Doncaster Heads on sale in Mayfair is totally weird and insensitive. For me, I think the heads should be given to the families that took part in this project. We need to know if there are more versions out there. I really feel uneasy knowing a version of my head could be bought by someone and that it’s value will go up in price as I age, like a fancy cheese. 🧀🧀Don’t treat our faces like fancy vintage cheese Lozza & Johnny 🧀🧀 BTW The oldest cheese in the world is 3000 years old.
