A life-sized bronze statue of the late Amy Winehouse is due to be erected in Camden, London next year and preliminary images of it have now surfaced.

Artist Scott Eaton designed piece and he shared some snapshots of it via his website and explained that although it seems a little early to unveil it to the public, the news of the project has already spread so it makes sense:

"In my opinion it is a little early to be sharing these images given that there is a lot of sculpting still to do, but the planning application is now public and it is in the news."

"There is much more work to do on the piece, but for application purposes it is a good representation of the scale and the gesture of the sculpture."

Planning application was submitted to Camden's council earlier this week for the statue and the documents stated: "The piece is carefully composed with naturalism as the primary objective - a senstive likeness of Amy being of utmost importance. Her long flowing hair will be represented sculpturally with a touch of art nouveau styling. Other important style and wardrobe consideration include earrings, dress, shoes, and a rose in her hair, all selected and approved by members of her family."
