At the site of Penzance's Transport Interchange, a large scale artwork has been inset into the pavement outside the railway station. As homage to Jasper John's flags, the Cornish flag of St Perin is overlaid with a map of the Penith peninsula. Made from recycled granite, concrete, marble and stainless steel.

In collaboration with:
Robert Allen Architects, St Ives.
Typography – Why Not Associates.
