Drip View Through Log

A huge inflatable sculpture, called DROP, at Crow Park, Keswick.. By Steve Messam, it represents a raindrop – the building block of the Lakes.

 

It is as big as two double-decker buses – 8m high, 22m long and 8m wide.

 

Visitors can touch it, flexing the fabric and creating distortions in the view.

 

DROP was inflated by a large fan, has water ballast drawn from the lakes, more than five tonnes, and will withstand a 25 knot wind.
