Statues by Faith P


Feeling bored, I picked up the post on my way downstairs and I noticed an unusual picture postcard. I was interested to find out more about the brightly coloured statues, so I decided to research.

I found out they were, ‘The Lanterns of the Terracotta Warriors’ in Sydney, Australia. They were originally created for the Beijing Olympics in 2008 by the Chinese artist Xian Nan. The statues stand 2.1 meters high made from fabric and wire, they glow brilliant bursts of colour after dark. Then mum came through with a sandwich, it was lunch time, where had the morning gone.
