Artist and maker Jill Desborough was commissioned by The Red Dot Gallery to create one of her distinctive sculpture models for The Spirit of Place. Taking Anne Boleyn as her subject, Jill created an almost puppet figure dressed in the style as seen in portraits of the doomed queen. The model is designed in such a way that the arms can be moved and the head turned to face or face away! Within the skirt of the piece is a series of original water-colour cut outs of Blickling Hall and characters who have had an association with the hall during its history.

A truly unique work
