Liverpool Cathedral's chandelier sculpture sheds spotlight on important issues
February 2023
Thousands of pieces of coal are being suspended from the ceiling at Liverpool Cathedral as part of a monumental new artwork.
The Coalescence art installation by artist Paul Cocksedge is designed to prompt questions in the viewer around energy consumption, the use of fossil fuels and the need to reach net zero.
Spanning six metres in diameter, the artwork is made up of over half a tonne of coal - it is a visual representation of how much power it takes to keep a single 200W light bulb switched on for a year.
