A sweeping arch of red poppy heads over Lincoln Castle,<br />
presented by 14-18 NOW, that marks the centenary of the<br />
First World War. Wave and Weeping Window, sculptures by<br />
artist Paul Cummins and designer Tom Piper, are brought to<br />
audiences at venues across the country as part of the<br />
14-18 NOW programme - Lincoln Castle will host<br />
The Wave and will be the only place in England where<br />
it can be seen.<br />
The breath-taking sculptures were initially conceived as<br />
the key dramatic sculptural elements in the installation<br />
Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red at the Tower of<br />
London in the autumn of 2014.<br />
