Liverpool map
You still have time to help design the iconic Liverpool Map art work. Laura Davis explains how
“I’m from Belgium, so I have a slightly different perspective, and once we got delving into the history it seemed to me that Britain has a lost glory somehow, the empire that was, and Liverpool very much has that in its history.”
Inge’s background in project-managing large-scale architectural works is good experience for creating a piece of sculpture for a location that does not yet quite exist.
When completed, it will stand in the northern panoramic window in the People’s City Gallery of the new Museum of Liverpool.
Jeffrey, on the other hand, brings his unique technique of fusing together sheets of glass, which he has used to create many striking works in the past.
He used the same process of layering images, diagrams and text in Encyclopedia, a 40in x 5in x 6in block of more than 200 “pages” of information, varying from a series of bird etchings to the colours found in a botanical garden.
Made up of six 2m-tall sections, each 33cm wide and 51mm thick, the Liverpool Map will be his largest ever piece.
It is one of four projects created through a collaboration between the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo, Radio City, BBC Radio Merseyside, Open Culture and the Liverpool Culture Company.
