Headlands To Headspace Sculptures

Chris Drury, internationally-acclaimed environmental artist has created a walk-in, stone built ‘cloud chamber’ called Horizon Line Chamber. Situated at the dramatic and ever-changing landscape of Sunderland Point, as you take a seat inside the structure, a lens installed into the sea-facing wall projects an inverted image of the coastal scene outside. Drury commissioned Cumbria-based master craftsman stonemason Andrew Mason who used local reclaimed stone to build the structure in the shape of an upturned boat.

Drury has fourteen unique sculptures around the world, offering peaceful shelter to all who enter.
Anna Gillespie is a contemporary figurative sculptor. In her work to explore where the urban experience meets the natural environment, she has created the dramatic and thought-provoking SHIP at Half Moon Bay.

The striking steel sculpture has two figures on opposing bows of a boat, looking in opposite directions. The simultaneous gaze out to see and back towards the land expresses the extremes of departure and return.
