Weston-Super-Mare : Pavement and Silica

Image: © Lewis Clarke Taken: 24 Jul 2015

Silica is a contemporary sculpture sited at a prominent junction in the main shopping area of Weston-super-Mare. It was commissioned by North Somerset Council (NSC). Seen from a distance, Silica resembles a gigantic drop of shimmering liquid that is about to hit the pavement. The sculpture is 4m at its widest – while its spire, which reaches 30m, measures just 25mm at the tip.
