Wildspace Network: Eating for England

Wildspace Network: Eating for England

The Wildspace Network is a 4.5 mile walking and cycling route connecting Cramlington and the villages of Seghill and Seaton Delaval. Five permanent artworks create a series of intriguing new landmarks at key points along the trail. The art trail has been funded through the Lottery and was curated by Inspire, the South East Northumberland Public Art Initiative.

Bob Budd's giant stainless-steel sculpture announces to walkers that they are on the Wildspace Network Art Trail. The title 'Eating For England' has echoes of the wartime slogan 'Dig for Victory' and is a reference to today's rampant consumerism.
