Spectacular Poppies Weeping Window installed at Imperial War Museum, to mark 100th anniversary of WW1, London, UK
Weeping Window is a cascade comprising several thousand handmade ceramic poppies seen pouring from a high location to the ground below. Wave, is a sweeping arch of bright red poppy heads suspended on towering stalks. Both sculptures are by artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper and were initially conceived as the key dramatic sculptural elements in the installation Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of London in the summer and autumn of 2014.
Over the course of their time at the Tower, the sculptures were gradually surrounded by a vast field of ceramic poppies, each one planted by a volunteer in memory of every British or Colonial life lost at the Front during the First World War. In their original setting they captured the public imagination and were visited by over five million people.
