Client: Broadbent Studio
Location: Rossall, Fleetwood, Lancashire
CB Arts were approached by great friend and client Stephen Broadbent to design devleop, fabricate and install a series of landmark sculptures along the new sea defences at Rossall, Lancashire.
Part of a new ecology park the 1.5km strip of land is known as Larkholme Grasslands and is already classed as a Biological Heritage Site because of the rare species of flora and fauna that grow there.
Stephen designed a series of colourful aluminium grassland beacons which stand tall at pedestrian access points along the promenade and act as way-finders connecting paths to the promenade.
The 11 metre tall grass like sculptures - nine in total - are stenciled with flora, fauna found in the ecology park and these are complimented by three timber totems which stand at 8 metres tall and feature the name of the park in green lettering.
