Dream #1
'Dream' is a monument to Sutton Manor Colliery, and a more general tribute to the coal mining history of St Helens. Additionally, it's supposed to be a forward-looking sculpture rather than acting solely as a memorial. It is in part inspired by the town motto "ex terra lucem" which translates as "from the ground, light".
This was my first visit, and I think it's fantastic. Such are the dimensions of the face that it looks very surreal, almost as if it isn't actually there!
