SCULPTURE #12: INSPIRALLED BY NATURE
A walk to the top of Langmoor and Lister Gardens in Lyme Regis is well worth the effort, as you can join one of our most striking elephants in enjoying a stunning view of the Cobb.
Inspiralled By Nature was designed and painted by @loiscordelia who says: "Inspired by Lyme Regis` ammonite fossils, this surreal, playful, fairytale design celebrates the intricate beauty of spirals in nature. Everywhere we look, on every scale, we find spirals: swirling galaxies (including our own Milky Way), whirlwinds, fern fronds, snails, roses, spiders` webs, even the molecular structure of proteins and DNA. How many details can you spot?"
Sponsored by Vertu Yeovil Mini, you can win £250 of official Mini merchandise if you collect Inspiralled by Nature on the Stampede by the Sea app! Just tap in the four digit code you`ll see at the sculpture to unlock access to the competition.
See this amazing elephant on the trail until 26th May, and at our Farewell Event at the Corn Exchange in Dorchester in June. You can even provide a forever home to Inspiralled By Nature at our Charity Auction! Find out how to get tickets to our Farewell Event and register your interest in the Auction on our website.
