Flotilla
Come and join us for the launch of a big new animated sail sculpture in Clevedon. This is part of a bigger ongoing environmental art project.
This event is for the launch the first phase of Flotilla.
Phase One is about testing the idea. In this phase we have made a prototype sail structure that is now on display at Salthouse Fields seafront park in Clevedon. The structure has been designed in consultation with structural engineers, sail makers, fabricators, riggers and other experts.
In Phase Two, the full ‘flotilla’ of sails will be raised up on tall masts, scattered across the North Somerset Levels, turning in the wind, shifting appearance in the changing light. Looking out across the Levels, the sails will appear to float above the landscape as if raised up on an invisible sea.
The sail will remain at Salthouse Fields for at least a month.
