A very different view of Rio 2016 from sculptor Wilfrid Wood and It’s Nice That
Strange Inspirations, Rio 2016 Through the Eyes…
“Sporty types have striking faces,” says Wilfrid. “Usain Bolt had to be sculpted, he has a monumental presence. The O’Connor brothers popped up from nowhere with their disarming interviews and I tried to fix their cheeky charm. Adam Peaty’s nan had her ten minutes of fame. Apparently Clare Balding can’t get off the tabs so I thought it would be amusing to catch her having a sneaky one round the back of the commentary box. The only shame was all the beauties and oddities I left out. I’m keeping the plasticine warm for Tokyo 2020.”
