Reason for highlighting

I love the stories that can be interpreted in this sculpture, elements alluding to discovery, adventure and dreams keep the viewer’s attention while awaiting their journey.

Other comments

The sculpture is 90 metres long and 5 metres high and a wonderful example of float glass used in an exterior setting.

Artist/maker notes

Danny Lane (b.1955) is an American born artist, known for his glass and steel sculptures. He came to England to study with the great stained-glass artist Patrick Reyntiens in 1975, and followed this with a fine art course at the Central School of Arts and Crafts, where he was particularly influenced by the British painter, Cecil Collins. He has since developed a worldwide reputation for his  extraordinary sculpture and furniture, which challenge the boundaries of Art and Design.
