Untitled by Miles Davies (1990)

by admin | Aug 11, 2025 | Public Art, Sculpture, The Nene Reaches, Thorpe Meadows Sculpture Trail

Cormorant by Elizabeth Cooke (2000)

Cormorant by Elizabeth Cooke (2000)

by admin | Aug 11, 2025 | Public Art, Sculpture, The Nene Reaches, Thorpe Meadows Sculpture Trail

Poised with wings outstretched and prize catch in beak, Elizabeth Cooke’s Cormorant captures the grace of a bird often seen around Nene Park’s waterways. Created from recycled metal objects, the sculpture combines delicate shaping with a sense of movement frozen in...
