Eye-catching new temporary artwork has been commissioned for Watermark that can be seen on Story Island outside The Hive.

Deluge, by artist Hilary Jack, comprises of two lines of LED text that mimics the relentless scroll of news found on busy urban landmarks such as Times Square or Piccadilly Circus.

One line announces flooding events in Worcester and around the globe in 2022, while the other relays age-old flood narratives and myths from various cultures and distant civilisations.

Anne de Charmant, artistic director at Meadow Arts, said: "There is little doubt that climate change is the defining issue of our age, and the image of the flood has become one of its most brutal markers - along with droughts, wildfires and evermore powerful storms.

"Worcestershire has a long history of flooding, from its main rivers, smaller watercourses, ditches and, increasingly, from surface water.

"We are inviting the people of Worcestershire to get involved in this project by visiting the exhibition or attending one of the Watermark events that will be running until June 2023."

On February 7, artist Hilary Jack will be giving a free talk at The Hive and online where she will share her inspiration for the new work, Deluge.
