Balls to Grasmere |
||
On 8th March 2005, Steve Messam and six gallant volunteer artists floated seven large red inflatable balls, ranging from 6ft to over 12ft diameter on the tranquil waters of Grasmere, Cumbria. The half-mile long installation remained on the lake for 4 days before a change in wind direction and overnight gales forced the removal of the temporary piece. A limited edition postcard featuring an early morning image of the work taken by Rob Fraser, was sold locally to raise money for Comic Relief. The piece was supported by the Cumbria Tourist Board, the National Trust, the Lake District National Park Authority and South Lakes District Council.
