The lighthouses were unveiled at Market Hall, Devonport, before being put in place around Plymouth.<\/p>\n
Alice Nimmo, a University of Plymouth illustration graduate, whose mother was cared for by St Luke’s, said she rooted her design in the “timeless nature of care-giving” and an inspirational trip to see the friezes of Pompeii.<\/p>\n
She said: “I really want to pay tribute to what St Luke’s does for patients and their families. That very human care means a lot.”<\/p>\n
For her lighthouse, Mrs Murals, aka Ellie Johnson, took a deep dive into the vulnerable local marine life.<\/p>\n
She said: “My lighthouse is a celebration of Plymouth Sound and all we have in terms of biodiversity. <\/p>\n
“But I have also included some man-made objects, such as ghost nets and a tyre, to emphasise the importance of protecting nature from human interference.”<\/p>\n
She added: “It’s great to create something so large and impactful alongside so many really incredible artists.”<\/p>\n
