Wonder Wall



A new art installation has landed in Pool as part of Heartlands which captures the geological affects that mining has on the earth during the height of Cornish tin mining, when miners were hitting depths of over 1km.

Conceived by artist Walter Jack and involving a unique molding technique to create a fluid and voluptuous effect never seen before with concrete on this scale, 'Crushed Wall' will sit within the village of Pool in Cornwall. Rising to 3m high, the wall will act as a corner stone and defining art feature of Heartlands.
