Alfie Bradely’s ‘I AM LOVE’, Chelmsford

The sculpture is a unique piece of artwork that is located in a visually prominent position close to the site of the original ‘Knife Angel’ sculpture by Alfie Bradley.

The sculpture is of high quality with a powerful message and is a collaboration between ‘Keep It 100 Youth’ and Alfie Bradley. The Youth Charity, ‘Keep It 100’, was set up with the aim of improving aspirations for youngsters, and tackling youth violence through art and culture.

The sculpture is dedicated to the “education and reflection on all forms of youth violence”. The sculpture is named “I am love” and Ms Marco (the founder of ‘Keep It 100 Youth’) states “I am Love is a message of empowerment. Through this sculpture we want to inspire young people to make positive choices”.

The project was brought to life after extensive youth consultation, including understanding how young people felt about the Knife Angel, which was first unveiled in 2017.
