Sculpture created of Dark Cloud

By Martin Booth  Tuesday Mar 7, 2023

An artist who has previously crafted sculptures of King Charles, Emmeline Pankhurst and Captain Tom Moore has created a new work of one of Bristol’s best known characters.

Richard Mossman is a sculptor who lives in Bristol and it was on the pages of Bristol24/7 that he first found out the story of Dark Cloud, the only First Nation person living in the city.

Mossman’s piece of Dark Cloud was not commissioned so he is hoping to raise the money needed to get the sculpture cast in bronze and then put on display.
