Renowned artist Charles Jencks has announced his ‘Northumberlandia’ landmark which features a nude woman made out of landscape.
The project will be located at the entrance to the South East Northumberland in Cramlington, UK. The gorgeous centerpiece for the 25 hectare public park will span 1/2 kilometre in length and will be 20 meters high.
Two million tons of soil and clay and a load of time and labor later, this majestic natural beauty will be one of the most innovative land forms of its kind.
