Overview
Copper Starlings
A flock of 100 hand-drawn copper starlings forms a permanent murmuration across the three podium garden railings at Lyon Close, Hove. This site-specific sculpture celebrates the iconic starling flocks of Brighton and Hove, while drawing attention to their declining population. A nearby QR code animates the installation with further information and interactive games, encouraging deeper engagement with these remarkable birds.
