Chesterfield Council commissioned a 3.4m-tall steel and mosaic sculpture with badger images on the front, and an abstract design on the back which looks like the large balancing stones of the fabricated metal.

After being selected for this commission in summer 2020, Coralie worked with ten different people to arrange the design and planning of the piece before starting to produce it in Summer 2021.
