Where we are now

A drawing and a spot: a pair, 1 m high.

Why it is in the plan

The pair is drawn necking rather than standing.

“A pair of giant black swans. I have depicted them necking. For want of a better word. Swans do this. Was the world’s biggest swan.”

— Trish Shirley, who designed the sculptures, 2025

In deep time

A pair of giant black swans — the largest swan known.
