Mrs Osbourne spoke during a promotional run for a live show about her own life.
"It made it possible to realise there are other options for the Willow Man. We looked at how we can possibly make it and even looked at re-siting the work," she said."As an artist its tremendous because we can look beyond the Willow Man as he is and make him good. It can be achieved."
The artist added it may have to be rebuilt from a different material, such as steel, to make it a more permanent fixture and is working with Somerset Council to publish the feasibility report.Leader of Somerset Council Bill Revans said the authority had previously spent about £100,000 over the years on keeping the Willow Man in place.But he added: "We're not in a position to use any of the funds available to us towards this project."
The council had explored its options, which include contracts made with housing and industrial developers building in the area.Mr Revans said the council "greatly" valued art in the county, but added its stretch on finances meant it had to focus on delivering statutory services.
He went on to say if anyone is able to help, the council would work in partnership with them to get the project off the ground.
A police officer who admitted to knowingly avoiding paying train fares has been sacked for breaching standards of "honesty and integrity" and "discreditable conduct".Ms Russell said trans healthcare would also be explored and "how the community gets though the various political and health challenges".
"I think we exist, at the moment, in a sort of environment which is quite negative for trans people," she continued."We want this to be a bit of a beacon of hope and light to the trans community, showing that the vast majority of trans people just want to get on with their lives..."
She said researchers and allies of the trans community would be attending the conference."Their job is showing that we are normalising trans lives as trans lives have been for the last thousands of years and people are just getting on, living their lives."
