‘Memento Mundi’ depicts the FTSE 100 index closing prices for 13th November 2021; the last day of the Glasgow-based Climate Change Conference, COP26. The short code (e.g. TSCO for Tesco) is how companies are identified and the number is the company’s stock price in pence. This has been hand chiselled into Portland stone which was formed some 150 million years ago at the same time as the C02 bearing fossil fuels like coal, oil and gas. The piece title ‘Memento Mundi’ translates as ‘Remember the World’ and is the first in a series planned for each successive COP meeting.
