Created by Artist Andy Welland ‘Loose Ends 300’ is a graphic collage inspired by the energy of the River Tyne, the forms of iconic bridges, and the collective energy of the people, all coming together as a collage of positive energy, independent spirit and zeal.

Curated by Unit44 Gallery, the piece is believed to be the largest piece of temporary pavement art in the UK stretching just over 90 meters long. The mural has become a signature Summertime fixture on the Quayside for the past three years with the former bus lane being transformed into a linear work of art.

Made possible through the shared vision, trust and support of Newcastle NE1 and Newcastle City Council and with production support from The London Mural Company and Accent London.

It is an honour to contribute to such an iconic space. The mural is an invitation for viewers to explore and interpret the abstract collage in their own, personal way. To see the beauty in each element, and to feel the unity and strength that defines Newcastle. I hope this mural inspires and sparks the imagination in those who see it. I hope it shows that our dreams are as big and vibrant as we make them
