New Artwork on the Mythological Coastline

Two new items have recently appeared in Cleveleys

The Ogre's paddle is over 9 metres long and is carved from a tropical timber called Purple Heart. Legend (from the story of The Sea Swallow) has it that the paddle drifted up “to lie on the muddy sand like some strange offering”. Over time, the timber will weather like a real paddle.

 

The paddle is over 9 metres long

It would probably take an ogre's strength to use this paddle

 

Mary's Golden Shell has also arrived, to continue the theme of The Sea Swallow. This 8 metre by 4 metre stainless steel structure is located on the beach. The incoming tide washes around it; but when the sea is out you can walk inside it, and hear the effect of the wind and waves on the laser-cut metal.

 

The tide lapping around the shell gives the impression of a drifting object
