SJ8097 : Poppies - Imperial War Museum North
taken 2 years ago, near to Trafford Park, Trafford, England
Poppies - Imperial War Museum North
The iconic hand-crafted ceramic poppy sculptures were conceived by ceramic artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper for the “Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red” installation at the Tower of London during the summer and autumn of 2014 to mark 100 years since the start of World War I in 1914. Some of them were on show at Imperial War Museum North between September and November 2018 (SJ8097 : Wave at Imperial War Museum North)
more than 10000 of the poppies have now been returned to IWM North as a brand-new artwork, ‘Poppies’ and now form part of IWM’s collection. Re-imagined into a new sculptural form, the poppies cascade down and pool within the unique architecture of IWM North’s Air Shard.
