Claire Morgan’s spectacular sculptural installation traced the journey of the individual through the crowd, as in the Bupa Great North Run.
A dense mass of thousands of seeds and a lone Kittiwake Gull, all native to the route of the world’s largest half-marathon, are suspended in the air in a dramatic geometric form. Falling and swooping, the bird makes its way through the enormous throng.
Claire Morgan gave a sell-out artist talk at Laing Art Gallery on Wednesday 1 October.
We would like to thank the National Trust for their help with this work.
