Installation of Poole’s new Bottle Knot sculpture next to the Hunger Hill Junction has been completed.
The artwork was designed by the artist Michael Condron and is made from thousands of overlapping segments of stainless steel that spiral into the form of a giant rope knot.
It also features internal LED lighting which illuminates the sculpture at dusk with light creeping through gaps in its intricate metal surface.
Ideas for this piece were developed following extensive engagement with local historians, schools and Poole Museum.
Residents expressed a desire to celebrate the town’s local heritage and the finished Bottle Knot Sculpture echoes the significant maritime and shipbuilding heritage of Poole.
The completed artwork marks the final milestone in BCP Council’s Townside and Hunger Hill infrastructure improvement scheme, which has already delivered an improved walking and cycling network on the townside of the Back Water channel and Holes Bay, between Poole Bridge and Hunger Hill.
