Photograph at the Cornelia Parker white plaque

Cornelia Parker The Folkestone Mermaid 2011 The bronze sculpture of The Little Mermaid in Copenhagen is one of the best known and most photographed sculptures in the world. Parker's sculpture overlooking Sunny Sands quotes the celebrated original in the figure's pose and location (on a rock by the sea) but is not of a mermaid. It's a life cast from Folkestone resident Georgina Baker, a monument of the people and for the people of the town. Art Fund_ creativefolkestone.org.uk
