Knots - Hoylake, UK - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

The sculpture stands on the pavement near a row of shops. It shows a number of the birds flying very close together.

It was sculpted by David Annand and is close to a much bigger, similar sculpture in the middle of road traffic island.

There is a plaque with a poem about the birds written by Elizabeth Daley.

Knots

Here, as they swirl, the birds descry
A loop, that links shore to sky
And in their flight across the sands,
Echo the ropes which roughened hands
Have hauled in years gone by.

But more than this, their outspread wings
Twisting in flight, place complex rings
Weave as they swoop, the greater hole
The knot that binds, whose timeless role
Links past with years to come.

POEM     ELIZABETH DALEY
