Where are they now?Amy Johnson On-line Store

Although Hull’s two colourful animal sculpture projects were only planned to last a few months, these remarkable Toads and Moths are set to stay for a while longer yet!

Larkin with Toads was the first of the large scale, mass participation public art events that populated Hull and the East Riding with 40 enormous decorated toads, initially for 10 weeks during summer 2010. The project was part of Larkin25, a six month festival commemorating the life and work of the poet, novelist, librarian and jazz critic, Philip Larkin, marking the 25th anniversary of his death.

The project took Philip Larkin’s poems Toads and Toads Revisited as a starting point, poems that take a darkly comic look at the pressures and pleasures of working life. In the first poem, Larkin compares work to a Toad squatting on his life, returning to the theme in Toads Revisited to reflect on his more positive feelings towards work in later life.

Initially controversial, Hull’s Toads quickly won public support, brightening up working days and holidays for visitors and residents alike – and they continue to do so, with eighteen still around to view in Hull, Beverley, Billericay and Bannockburn!

There is more information about Larkin with Toads at philiplarkin.com/larkin-with-toads

As part of the Amy Johnson Festival in 2016, A Moth for Amy helped to mark the 75th Anniversary of this Hull hero’s tragic and untimely death and bring her remarkable life to the attention of people across the city, the region, the country and the world! The festival of the arts and engineering celebrated this wonderful woman and her amazing achievements.

A Moth for Amy, saw 59 decorated moths appear on walls and pavements across Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, and some key locations across England – University of Sheffield where she studied, The London Science Museum where her plane ‘Jason’ is displayed, and Herne Bay overlooking the Thames Estuary where she died. One more, Stop

me and buy one, was added in 2020 to bring the total to 60 – referencing Amy’s de Havilland DH60 Gipsy Moth, the plane she flew to Australia on her record breaking solo flight!

There is more information about A Moth for Amy at amyjohnsonartstrust.co.uk/a-moth-for-amy

At the end of each project, all the Moths and Toads were either bought by the businesses which sponsored them, or were sold at auction with the proceeds going to support local charities and arts projects. This has meant that some of the sculptures are now in private locations, homes and businesses, and these have not been included on our map.
