Three statues thought to be the first sculptures depicting black British people on display in England will return to Brixton station.
Joy Battick was 26 years old when the first statues were cast.
She was working at the Brixton Recreation Centre at the time and initially declined the offer of being a model, but changed her mind to get away from the poolside.Image source,"There was more interaction," she said, adding that she felt "more like I've achieved something".Although she no longer lives in Brixton, she still goes there frequently and said she felt the statue "fits in the culture more now".
"It's crazy - when I first said yes, I didn't expect anything important, but now I'm part of something historical, especially as a woman of colour."When he created the first sculpture of her in 1986, the artist made the first body cast by hand, but for Joy II he incorporated 3D scanning and printing into the process.
