‘Isis’ by Simon Gudgeon, Hyde Park

‘Isis’ is a work by Simon Gudgeon that was commissioned by the Royal Parks Foundation to raise funds for a new education centre. It’s been spectacularly successful in doing this with people paying to have a plaque inscribed and placed around its base. By late 2010 over 1.4 million pounds had been raised via this method.
