Tern is an arts led regeneration project for Morecambe. As part of the coastal defense project, Morecambe's original jetty was reconstructed and extended. Working with landscape architect Ann Kelly, ideas were developed for connecting the 300 metre long jetty with the promenade. Based on the theme of birdlife, a variety of games such as hop-scotch, word puzzles, tongue twisters and a maze were created from recycled granite, marble, coloured concrete and bronze.

In collaboration with:
Russell Coleman and Ann Kelly.
