Art in Metal












Lauren Voiers enjoyed invaluable assistance on "Imagine Peace & Harmony" from Lyle London of Art in Metal in Phoenix, Arizona. Lyle and his entire team at Art in Metal helped Lauren create a monument that will quickly become one of the world's most celebrated landmarks.

Simply put, Art in Metal's fabrication work is second to none, the world over. The Global Peace Initiative hopes to continue working with Art in Metal on future GPI monuments.

Thanks to Lyle and his Art in Metal team... you guys did an amazing job!

John Lennon peace sculpture unveiled in Shanghai







A sculpture to mark what would have been John Lennon's 70th birthday has been shown at the Shanghai World Expo.

A maquette of the John Lennon Peace Monument - which when finished will stand at 18ft (5m) - was presented to the Liverpool Pavilion.

Created by 19-year-old Lauren Voiers, it is a globe, surrounded by birds and a single white feather to represent the Beatle's message of peace.

The £350,000 sculpture was commissioned by US group Global Peace Initiative.

The finished work will be given to the city's Beatles Story in October and has the support of Lennon's elder son Julian.

Ben Valenty, director of Global Peace Initiative which commissioned the sculpture, said he hoped the finished work, which is a gift to Liverpool, will become a place of pilgrimage in Lennon's home city for people who want to remember him.

It is one of many sculptures the group has commissioned as it aims to place one sculpture on each of the world's seven continents.
