The Wave by Lucy Glendinning in collaboration with Mark Merer was installed in Cedar Square, Blackpool in September 2009. It is a mirror polished stainless steel wave shape with intelligent internal lighting, a laser cut pattern with transparent blue resin insets and a figure cast in crystal clear blue resin which dives from the wave. Around the base are clear cut blue pebbles which act as seats and protection from traffic, although the area is now mostly traffic free.
