‘I MISS YOU’ - Asociatia Daisler (Romania)

This text artwork, displayed in the centre of the River Aire at Leeds Dock, perfectly sums up the experience of 2020. I MISS YOU, created in Romania by Asociatia Daisler, will send a simple message to the public which can be interpreted in so many ways; missing friends and family, culture, art and festivals, normality and our lives as they once were.

‘GLORY’ - Richard Wheater (UK)

Yorkshire based artist, Richard Wheater , has taken the idea of the rainbow, nature’s most stunning display of natural light, and designed a bespoke new work for the city of Leeds. The design is based on a full rainbow circle in light, which is how a rainbow looks in its true form from the air or from space. NASA use the technical term GLORY which seems like a fitting name for the piece.
