A Slice of Reality, Modern art installation at Greenwich Peninsula, England
The sculpture presents a vertical cross-section of a sand dredger vessel, revealing interior elements including living quarters and deck sections across multiple levels.
Richard Wilson created this installation in 2000 as part of the North Meadow Sculpture Project near the Millennium Dome construction site.
The artwork stands as a representation of maritime industrial heritage, displaying the internal structure of a working vessel that once operated in British waters.
The installation remains accessible throughout the year along The Line art trail, connecting North Greenwich to Stratford through a collection of outdoor sculptures.
The exposed cross-section reveals a pool table on the lower deck, allowing visitors to observe authentic maritime furnishings frozen in time.
