Wigan Public Art Trail
8 Wigan Warp and Weft
Artist: Adrian Moakes
Location: Standishgate Date Installed: 2001
Wigan Warp and Weft Adrian Moakes' work often has a playful quality. Wigan Warp and Weft is constructed from plate steel. It changes as you walk around it, being tall elegant curves from some viewpoints and more angular from others. The interweaving shapes, a reference to Wigan's textile heritage, open out at the top to form a "W" shape.

Cross at the main junction and continue along Standishgate until you reach the junction with Powell Street. Here, at the boundary of the town centre, you will find the Wigan Warp and Weft.
