Today we visited family in Portishead. There is an ‘Arts Trail’ around the Marina and I found this particular work interesting.

Below is a description written by the artist Lucy Glendinning.


“I wanted this sculpture to reflect the feel of the site, to give the sense of scale that being by the sea gives us, the feel of the wind and its effect. The impression of freedom and power the sea lends through its elemental force, as well as being a point of travel and adventure.

The flying figure gives the sculpture a gravity-defying energy, an uplifting and celebratory sense which communicates a conscious or subconscious confirmation of human achievement.”
