This somewhat unnerving sculpture is the Knife Angel. It’s officially known as the National Monument Against Violence and Aggression. Apart from its head and hands, its body and wings are formed from thousands of knives that have been handed in as part of weapon amnesty programmes.

I saw the knife angel in Gateshead – it’s a very thought-provoking piece.
