Root Bodied Forth

Root Bodied Forth is an 8-ft.-tall concrete figurative sculpture by Mitzi Cunliffe for the Festival of Britain in 1951. The sculpture of an entwined couple growing as if they are trees was featured at the entrance of the South Bank exhibition. The final installation was made of terracota concrete and is thought to have been a dusky pink colour. The exhibition had the theme of people and land which inspired Cunliffe's work. Of the piece, she said:It represents Man at one with Nature. It is man, woman and a growing thing. I want it to be all growing things, not just a particular tree, and therefore it may not look like a tree at all.
