Twittens / Public Art / Hastings Town Centre

Emerging from Hastings’ coastal light, wild edges and layered pathways, Twittens is conceived as a sculptural encounter with connection itself - a place where movement, perspective and the more-than-human world quietly converge. Rooted in the town’s shifting geology and the culture of its streets, the work invites viewers into a moment of alignment: a pause where language, form and environment align.

To be carved from stone, Twittens is imagined as a breathing threshold - a point of arrival, a meeting place, a reminder that our relationships with habitats, species and neighbourhoods, with each other, and with the life around us are always in motion. Research and development for this art work, including a public programme of engagement, will begin in spring 2026, allowing the piece to grow directly from the rhythms and textures of the town.
