Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Invisible Dust invite you to the official launch of the Wild Eye Seawatching Station and the unveiling of Roman Mosaic c. 2025, a striking permanent artwork by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller, located on Scarborough’s iconic Marine Drive.

Saturday 26th April, 12–2.30pm (seawatching and mosaic activities from 12.30pm)

The sixth and final work of the Wild Eye series is a new Seawatching Station featuring a permanent artwork commission by Turner Prize-winning artist Jeremy Deller – launching 26th April 2025.

Deller’s new artwork Roman Mosaic c. 2025 – created in collaboration with sculptor and mosaic artist Coralie Turpin – is a fragmentary, large-scale Roman-style floor mosaic inspired by Scarborough’s sea life and its Roman past.

The artwork forms part of the new Seawatching Station on Marine Drive, one of the best places on the English coast to see dolphins and porpoises with more than 350 sightings in the last year. Visitors can enjoy free seawatching telescopes and comprehensive wildlife information providing insight into the incredible marine life viewable from the area.

Roman Mosaic c. 2025 has been developed in consultation with local scientists, conservationists, archaeologists and community groups and builds on Jeremy Deller’s long-standing fascination with cultural history.
