The Angel of the North

The Angel of the North

As a tourist when you visit The UK, you want to see Big Ben and Stonehenge, but also our local food comes to mind. Like good old fish and chips! Artist Prudence Staite has recreated six of the UK’s most loved icons. Made from chips shop and oven chips, these took around six months to plan and build!

The White ‘Chips’ of Dover

Prudence said: “We had so much fun with this project, from the very first sketches to the technical challenges around how the sculptures would hold together.

 

“Iconic landmarks in Britain are so important to our cultural history and eating chips is such a British tradition, it felt natural to combine the two and create some history of our own. It did leave us a little hungry though!”

 

Stu Baker, from Potato Council, said: “Britain is truly a nation of chip lovers and Chip Week is a fantastic celebration of our great food tradition. We always enjoy the creativity and ingenuity that Chip Week tends to inspire, and Prudence has certainly taken it to a whole new level! So why not go to your local chippy and have a go yourself?”
