Family Sculpture
'The Family' is a set of 3 large sculptures by Gordon Young which are located near the Office of Births, Marriages and Deaths of the Civic Centre in Gateshead. The figures, carved from Cumbrian limestone, represent the 3 main stages of life: infancy, maturity and old age and the changing relationships and affection which sustain them. The figures took 3 years to complete and were installed in 1991.[1]
