A sculpture by Colin Wilbourn, Karl Fisher and Craig Knowles installed in 1995. The piece represents items laid out on a (carved stone) rug for a picnic in a viewpoint over the mouth of the River Wear. The tripod originally had a telescope trained on the harbour http://public-art.shu.ac.uk/other/sunderland/fi/00000075.htm but this has gone missing. The sculpture is completed by writing on pages of the open book by Chaz Brenchley Image http://www.pmsa.org.uk/pmsa-database/9514/
