As a tribute to Morecambe's most famous son, comedian and bird spotter,
a performance space for the public to gather and interact was devised.
A life
size sculpture of Eric by Graham Ibbeson stands at the top of a flight steps
reminiscent of the Christmas steps in the Morecambe and Wise show. The steps
and area are inscribed with the names of the stars who performed on the show
over the the last few decades as well as the duo's jokes, catch phrases and
end of show theme tune 'Bring Me Sunshine'. A changing sequence of lights
embedded into the steps, is triggered every few minutes - very popular with
Morecambe fans.
In collaboration with:
Graham Ibbeson, Ann Kelly and Shona Kinloch.
Typography with Why Not Associates.
Implementation with Russell Coleman.
