Carved by Tina Cunningham.Based on a whelk shell to work with the landscape complimenting the location. The shell is carved from one piece of wood, including the ‘plinth’. There is a view finder in the back of the shell which can be fixed to a chosen view. Also, an aluminium mirror inside the shell acting as a ‘rock pool’ reflecting light and a spiral. The rock pool overflows into the spiral ‘logo’ on the front of the sculpture. At the base of the carved shell the ‘cast’ shells are fixed. The plinth will have arrows slowly changing into birds (gulls) pointing and flying towards the path that takes you to the beach with Three Cliffs Bay carved into it.
