Lily

By  Steve Messam 2010

Dimensions
variable (up to 1000cm each) over 2.2km

A 1.5 mile installation of giant Lilypads following the route of the River Lily beneath the Mere at Tatton Park. Weather conditions on the lake dictated a shorter exhibition period - just 2 weeks. The proposal visuals were also used on 16-sheet adverts on the London Underground. Commissioned for the Tatton Biennial 2010.
