THIS four-hour time-lapse video shows an artwork being created by Cumbrian artist Abby Kilfedder to raise awareness of those at risk from the cold this winter.
The 24ft long artwork beside Hadrian’s Wall used 300 blankets - one for each life lost to the cold in a Cumbrian winter.
The charity’s chief executive, Andy Beeforth, said: “This giant artwork reminds us that Cumbria may have a stunningly picturesque landscape, but it is also a place where thousands of older folk struggle to stay warm during its winters.
“We know that each of the blankets used in this artwork represents a life that will be lost because of the cold.
"They are someone’s mum or dad, gran or grandad, brother or sister, husband or wife. All lives that could be saved."
