Wave

Wave is from the 2014 installation โ€˜Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Redโ€™ at the Tower of London. The poppies and original concept were created by artist Paul Cummins and the installation designed by Tom Piper.

In 2015 Wave and Weeping Window commenced a 3 year tour of the United Kingdom, and the installation at Fort Nelson was the final stage of the tour for Wave. Mum and I visited on the anniversary of Dad’s death. I wasn’t 100% sure it would be the right thing to do but I had inkling it might be perfect. And it was.

  1. I never saw this, either at the Tower or on tour. This looks an especially successful re-positioning, and it must have felt so meaningful for you and your mum.

    1. oh you are so lucky. I realised too late you could buy them, which is a huge shame as one of them will have been made in memory of my great uncle.

    1. We were so lucky . . . and all thanks to twitter that I picked up it was on. Twitter is a nightmare in so many ways, but also has amazing good points.

    1. The weeping window one looked amazing in the photos, I might go to London to see it there when they re-install both permanently at one of the museums.
