Snap Time by Michael Disley

Wakefield Council

Michael Disley was commissioned by Wakefield Council to create an artwork to celebrate Normanton’s proud mining history. Michael has created a striking piece called ‘Snap Time’ carved from granite and incorporating seating.

The artwork is now in situ on the High Street in Normanton town centre. The artist took inspiration from the strong camaraderie in Normanton’s mining community and hopes that people will be able to use the installation to sit and enjoy their ‘snap’ together. During his commission Michael engaged over 200 children and local residents sharing skills through his ‘School of Rock’ workshops.
