Title: The Flowering of the Lort Burn, 2005
Material: Terrazzo, ceramic, stainless steel, planting
The Florid Burn, the Hidden Rivers Project
Leazes Park
Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear, England, UK
Text from the Newcastle City Council web page:
The work is a direct response to the Lort Burn that flows beneath Leazes Park and through the lake. The work consists of a stream made from blue terrazzo and planting. Stainless steel flowers are set into the paths where to mark where the burn flows. A playful splash-pool, situated at the top of the park suggests the source of the Lort Burn.
