'MJB' or Magic Jumping Bean

By  Tim Shutter 2017 - 2018
A capsule of fun balancing on its end like a magic jumping bean, or a drug capsule, filled with a community of fifty different happy spheres. It is a serious four tonne Portland Stone sculpture dedicated to healthy human silliness, to promote well-being and to announce a new health centre for Harlow.
