A few weeks ago, I showed you Tom Grimsey’s artwork marking the Lort Burn, one of Newcastle’s ‘hidden burns’. Above is Nicolaus Widerberg’s contribution to the same project: this 6.4m tall bronze sculpture and its meandering granite plinth mark the path of part of Pandon Burn which has been culverted for hundreds of years.

When the artwork was installed in 2004, it was in front of a big white wall which was part of an extension to the University’s gallery. The setting has changed considerably since then: the less stark background and the planting around it make it feel a more natural part of the landscape.
