The Cormorant and Newhaven

The Newhaven Cormorant 

Local sculptor, Christian Funnell, can be seen as the man who put the cormorant into Newhaven. Christian talks to Jenny about the original cormorant (made of rubber tyres) and why he chose a cormorant for his river sculpture.

Examples of Christian’s Public Art can be found around Newhaven, Seaford and throughout Sussex. In fact, the bench you are sitting on was made by him! Find out more about Christian on his website www.christianfunnell.com and Instagram www.instagram.com/funnellchristian

Placement:

West Quay, opposite the cormorant, Newhaven
