The Spirits of Pickering are sculptures that represent the people of Pickering. It shows the many parts of life that are embodied. And each includes parts that can be moved and played with, most often being bells or chimes. In a way, this shows how we can interact with others in the community, much like we can interact with the moving parts of these sculptures.
