Grecian Urn Two Vertical Forms

Portland Stone

Height 150 cm
Keats House Health Centre
Owned by the Harlow Health Centres Trust Ltd

The Health Centre is named after the poet John Keats who trained as a doctor. The Keats poem Ode to a Grecian Urn provided the artist with a starting point. The sculpture is viewed mainly from the two separate doctors' surgeries on either side of the atrium, with text from two other Keats poems carved in relief on each part, a complete quotation being visible from either surgery.
