Steve Redgrave is a man accustomed to making sparks, but now SPARKS have made Steve Redgrave (copyright Rubbish Puns 2001). That is to say, the Sport Aiding medical Research for KidS Vice-President has been immortalised in a bronze cast by renowned sculptor, Nicholas Dimbleby, and the results are set to be featured in the Royal Academy's summer exhibition in June.The cast is a life-size copy of Sir Steven's torso and required a man known for his movement and athleticism to sit very still for hours on end. A limited edition of 6 casts have been made, and SPARKS hopes to raise much spondoolies by auctioning one of them off.Thanks to the generosity of Nicholas Dimbleby and Sir Steve Redgrave, all monies raised from the sale of these bronzes will fund vital medical research for children. The project came about after SPARKS founder Jimmy Hill asked Sir Steven if he was willing to sit for a cast.If you want to know more about the casts and their auction, check out the SPARKS web site at http://www.sparks.org.uk or drop them a line at [email protected]
