9. Heron

Jon Voss (France)

Location: Walkergate Riverside

An iconic British bird captured mid-flight.

Its huge wings unfold for a fleeting moment – a snapshot in time. Heron shines in soft luminescence, as if captured in a camera flash. The sculpture celebrates the beauty of nature in the heart of the City.

Heron was the third permanent artwork added to the Durham landscape following Lumiere. The original installation was first shown at Lumiere 2017 and is now a permanent artwork in Durham.
