Shred Station sponsors GoGoDiscover

A positively roarsome art sculpture trail of prehistoric proportions came to the streets of Norwich and Norfolk between the 27th of June and the 10th of September 2022.

A large dinosaur sculpture, painted with thousands of brown scales, confined to a metal cage.

In 2022, East Anglian charity, Break, worked with Wild in Art to deliver yet another family-friendly art sculpture trail to the county! This time, the theme was GoGoDiscover. Dozens of dinosaurs and mammoths popped up across Norfolk, and Shred Station is delighted to have sponsored 2 of the trail sculptures.

This is not the first time Shred Station has sponsored a sculpture for Break’s GoGo trails. Our past sculptures include a “Dragon Fly” as part of the 2015 GoGoDragons trail and a “Harey Spider” for the 2018 GoGoHares trail. This is, however, the first year we are sponsoring 2 different sculptures!

A closer look at our sculptures

Shredasaurus

Our scary Shredasaurus was on display outside The Forum in Norwich’s town centre. The realistic beast came to life thanks to local artist, Phil Daniels, and is being cautiously contained in a Jurassic Park-style cage built by Shred Station’s very own Andy Macgregor.

Origamisaurus

At Shred Station, we are positively obsessed with paper. Most of the time, we are shredding it in tonnes to keep our customers’ data safe, recycling the shredded parts as we go. For our second sculpture, however, we dove into the more elegant art of origami. Our prehistoric paper pal, Origamisaurus, was displayed in the Castle Quarter Shopping Centre for the duration of the trail.

Where were the other sculptures?

There were 79 sculptures to see across Norwich and Norfolk, including 55 T. rex sculptures and 24 Steppe Mammoths.

Break encouraged visitors of the trail to donate, collect merchandise and attend events to raise funds to make life better for children and young people on the edge of care, in care and leaving care. When the sculpture trail ended, the sculptures were auctioned off. The proceeds from this auction went directly to Break.
