00:00So we're looking over the Sulcombe Estuary, looking to the other side and there are three
00:08fields just below the village of East Portlemouth and we are creating an installation of 20,000
00:19fibre optic stems. It's an installation called Field of Light which was first created
00:25in 2003, in fact it was first thought of in 1992, inspired by my journeys in Australian
00:34outback. Since then it's travelled all around the world and this latest iteration is to
00:40create an installation to commemorate or celebrate the 200th anniversary of the RNLI and hopefully
00:49raise some much needed funds for the charity and hopefully people will have a lovely time
00:58coming down to Sulcombe, staying here and enjoy the lights.
