The free installation will run from February 9 until March 12
A stunning sculpture made from thousands of pieces of coal has been installed at Liverpool Cathedral.
The vast sculpture, which is making its world debut at Liverpool Cathedral, spans six metres in diameter and features thousands of pieces of coal suspended from the ceiling. It's been made with more than half a tonne of coal and was crafted with anthracite, a type of coal with a high lustre, which reflects the light, adding to its beauty.
Speaking about Coalescence at Liverpool Cathedral, award-winning designer and artist, Paul Cocksedge, said: "As a sculptural representation of energy, the inspiration for Coalescence comes from a simple calculation, which shows that it takes over half a tonne of coal to power just one lightbulb for a year. I found this fascinating.View gallery "Coalescence is designed to spark curiosity and encourage conversation around energy consumption.
"The captivating artwork connects us to the striking beauty of thousands of pieces of gleaming anthracite coal, which almost has a crystal-like appearance as it sparkles in the light above the Cathedral Well. I hope visitors will take time out to look up and wonder in peaceful reflection as they appreciate the installation in all its splendour."
