Two swans in the act of taking flight, mounted on separate bronze bases on the tops of the brick walls either side of a walkway. Marr-Johnson, has explained that the image of two graceful birds taking flight served as a ‘perfect symbol for a new company being launched’. From a personal point of view, the sculpture reflected her concern over the large number of swans along the Thames that were dying of strangulation as a result of being entangled in fishing lines. Two Swans was Marr-Johnson’s first major public commission.
