GAIA - Mother Earth

Called the 'Two Rivers Converge' Festival, the giant Earth work is via an exhibit called GAIA by Bristol-based Gloucestershire artist Luke Jerram. The sculpture was exhibited within Tewkesbury Abbey, measures seven metres in diameter and has detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface.   The installation was part of a series of events highlighting the current global climate crisis.

Vicar of Tewkesbury Abbey, Canon Nick Davies:  “We are a place that knows something about seasonal flooding and the ebb and flow of life”...“We live on a fragile planet facing a climate emergency”.
