In his latest piece of art, designer Darren Timby of Roker paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth II after her sad death on Thursday, September 8.
The artwork, which measures one meter in diameter, is made of 5,000 black, gold and silver screws and is one of Darren’s smallest pieces.
Darren’s latest piece, which took 50 hours to complete, is also on view at Bridges Gallery and is expected to go on sale soon.
He said: ‘I had been planning to create a piece about the Queen for some time, in January, then when she passed away I thought it was the perfect time to honor Our Majesty.
“It’s a scaled down piece and it’s also made up of black, silver and gold screws, so it’s a bit different from my other designs. I’ve always had an interest in the monarchy, I so I liked doing this one.”

Monroe’s piece was completed in October last year after Darren worked on it for six months.
He added: “I had been considering creating the Queen and also Diana for a while, so I thought it would be a fitting tribute – Queen Elizabeth was obviously a beloved royal.
“I’m going so much faster now and the support and following I get on social media is very much appreciated and really encourages me to keep downloading.”
