An artist is taking a bold stance on the energy crisis and dwindling fossil fuels by suspending half a tonne of crystal-like coal from the Gothic ceiling of Liverpool Cathedral.
Paul Cocksedge's latest installation, called Coalescence, contains enough coal to power a single 200W lightbulb for a year.
The massive 6m sculpture will be illuminated for all to see within the magnificent halls of the Cathedral, lighting up the Grade I listed building with thousands of shards of sparkling coal from February 9 until March 12.
