Exciting news for Swansea art lovers! 🌟 The beloved Leaf Boat sculpture, inspired by Dylan Thomas’s poetry, is gearing up for a new adventure. This iconic piece is soon to be relocated from Castle Square to the picturesque Cwmdonkin Park in Uplands.
Why the move, you ask? Well, Cwmdonkin Park is not just any park—it’s a place rich with connections to Thomas, who spent much of his childhood nearby and found inspiration here for his literary masterpieces. This relocation will help connect the artwork even more with the celebrated literary figure. 📚✨
Working in tandem with sculptor Amber Hiscott, the council promises that her invaluable contribution will be acknowledged with fresh interpretation at the park. Soon, Swansea’s residents and visitors can enjoy the glass and steel beauty from the mid-1990s nestled within an existing water feature near Park Drive. 🌿💧
This move is part of an exciting transformation aiming to make Castle Square a greener, more welcoming space for all. Can’t wait to see this artistic gem in such a stunning new setting! Stay tuned as Swansea continues to evolve its cultural landscape. 💙🎨
