Summary

Description
English: Cornish Miner Statue, Redruth, near to Redruth, Cornwall, Great Britain.

The Redruth Public Realm Working Party's Mining Art Group commissioned this bronze sculpture of a Cornish miner by David Annand. It stands that two metres tall and was erected in April 2008.

It is a wonderfully dramatic artefact, expressing energy, power and in one sense immense optimism (in its stance and positioning). From another point of view, one might associate it with a kind of crucifixion, which might symbolise the fate of the ordinary miners not only in Cornwall, but everywhere.

However one interprets it, it is a dominant feature in the centre of the Redruth and demands a response.
