One non-verbal child spoke for the first time."The asylum seekers and refugee children were able to play, be joyful and be giant."The new hillside figure, which is genderless unlike its famously male counterpart, has eyes made of flowers, butterfly ears, tentacle legs and a petal for each of the asylum seekers who composed its heart.Ms Gill and colleagues amalgamated the contributors' drawings and collages to create the final image.It was then printed onto four canvases, covering an area of 30m x 40m (100ft x 130ft), about three-quarters of the height of the Cerne Abbas Giant.Funding came from the Arts Council and Dorset National Landscape, which receives money from the government and Dorset Council.The artwork will be dismantled later before touring the region.On 13 and 14 September, it can be seen on Summerhouse Hill in Yeovil, which is staging a celebratory parade, before moving to Corfe Castle the following weekend.David LeveneThe figure was created on canvases from artwork by asylum seekers, schoolchildren and people with learning disabilitiesYou can follow BBC Dorset on Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram.
