Northumberlandia, Land art sculpture in Northumberland, England
The reclining female figure measures 400 meters in length, spans across 19 hectares of parkland, and reaches a height of 34 meters.
Constructed in 2012 using 1.5 million tonnes of earth from the Shotton Surface Mine, the project transformed industrial waste into a functional landscape.
Charles Jencks designed this female figure to integrate environmental reclamation with public art, creating new connections between industry and nature.
The park remains open daily from sunrise to sunset, offering four miles of walking paths and featuring a visitor center with a cafe.
The structure changes its appearance throughout different seasons as vegetation grows and weather conditions alter the surface materials.
