So pleased this piece has finally been installed and is doing its thing up there in Stockton on Tees — radiating light out into the rather soulless retail area with its many empty shops. Together with the work of 12 other artists all with the same intention.
Finally arrived.
A silent visitation.
Precious human life.
The piece comes with this poem:
Signs of Life
translucent structure, living entities,
Delicate yet resilient, Lit from within.
Shoals, swarms, flocks, communities….
Gathering
In intimate proximity,
Distinct and intermingling.
As daylight fades, a soft glow.
As darkness deepens, their light grows stronger,
As does their quiet invitation
To stand together, Holding fast.
