made by Members of the British Association of Blacksmith Artists 1996, The Needle is conical in form with six sections. Each section contains objects,with a mainly maritime theme, which relate to one of the senses . The work was inaugurated in May 1997 by Evelyn Glennie, the percussionist ringing a bell which hangs inside the needle.
