Astronaut
is a series of 3 public artworks emphasising the gender of Britain's first Astronaut, Helen Sharman, with the intention of promoting equality of opportunity for all British people.

Helen Sharman's 1991 space odyssey began in Sheffield. She went on to become the first woman to live and work aboard the Mir space station, proving the maxim that it makes no difference where you start off from; it's where you end up that matters.
