The  244-centimetre (8 ft) statue, constructed from solid bronze, was designed and constructed by artist Del Newbigging over the course of nearly two years. Newbigging used reproductions of Georgian era silhouette portraits of Wood as reference for the statue's likeness, but took creative liberties to make Wood "handsome, because the people in this community will appreciate that" and added what he described as "a gay flair which I am convinced he would have had". The artist modelled Wood's clothing on fashions typical of a dandy, citing the bow tie, ponytail, and flower lapel visible in these portraits. A red rose was included in the statue's lapel as a tribute to Pierre Trudeau, whose government decriminalized homosexuality in Canada in 1969.The statue stood on a 1.5-metre (5 ft), 10-tonne (9.8-long-ton; 11-short-ton) granite base to which plaques that listed information about Wood's life and history were affixed. One plaque detailed Wood's rape investigation, which depicted a motif in which the exposed buttocks of a suspect was visible. Newbigging modelled the buttocks off of that of his husband John Carolan; Daily Xtra noted in 2012 that touching the bronze buttocks had "become somewhat of a lucky charm for passersby," and that wear from frequent rubbing of the buttocks by pedestrians had left their formerly green patina "smooth and bright".
