Bill Woodrow, The Ledge is most popular around 1 AM on Thursdays. It's most quiet on Fridays.

This crystalline modernist architectural composition, echoing the white cliffs between Folkestone and Dover, supports figures of an Inuit and a seal, and sits on a black puddle shape. Sited by the shore, the strong horizontals suggest the rising water level resulting from the disappearing polar ice caps, an iceberg melting into a pool of oil. The human figure and its ecological counterpart the seal represent an ancient way of life, standing on thin ice.

Folkestone Artworks: Spencer Finch, The Colour of Water is most popular around 6 PM on Sundays. It's most quiet on Tuesdays.

Like a French Impressionist painter on a day visit from Boulogne, American artist Spencer Finch observed the ever-changing tone and colour of the Channel during his visits to Folkestone over several weeks throughout 2010. His observations led him to produce a palette of 100 variants of the colour of the sea, which was used to dye 100 flags.

The Luckiest Place on Earth is installed beneath the railway bridge over the main road at Folkestone Central Station. It has the effect of transforming the bridge into a Lucky Gateway to the town through artistic sleight of hand. Below, at pedestrian street level, the Recycling Point for Luck and Wishes is embedded in the bridge structure alongside the street crossing. Strange Cargo invites us to affirm our own perception and relationship to luck, and how our attitudes might affect our future.
