Weather is a Third to Place and Time, 2014, by Ian Hamilton Finlay. Finlay's inscription on Folkestone lighthouse was in Folkestone Triennial 2014.


Patrick Tuttofuoco, FOLKESTONE, 2008 Folkestone used to be famous across Europe as the landfall in Britain of the celebrated Orient Express. In homage to the defunct train route, the artist undertook the journey from Istanbul to Paris and Folkestone, paying great attention to the social situations as well as the signage and promotional materials that he saw along the way. The design of the individual letters that compose the sculpture were each inspired by something that he saw or an incident he experienced along the way.
