Jeremy Deller's 'Roman Mosaic' is a large-scale installation on Scarborough's Marine Drive, marking the conclusion of his Wild Eye series. Collaborating with sculptor Coralie Turpin and local experts, this vibrant mosaic celebrates the region's marine life and historical narrative. Launched as part of a broader initiative with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, the artwork encapsulates community engagement and ecological awareness. Visitors can view the mosaic from a vantage point at the Seawatching Station, where intricate designs depicting local wildlife interact with historical references, forming a compelling landscape reflective of Scarborough's unique coastal character.
Deller's collaboration has resulted in a vibrant mosaic that intertwines local wildlife with Roman historical themes, creating a narrative-rich artwork celebrating Scarborough's coastal environment.
The Roman Mosaic not only showcases artistic talent but also celebrates the collaboration of local scientists and communities, connecting history, art, and nature in Scarborough.
