The universe is a vast system of exchange. Every artery of it is in motion, throbbing with reciprocity, from the planet to the rotting leaf. The vapor climbs the sunbeam, and comes back in blessings upon the exhausted herb. The exhalation of the plant is wafted to the ocean. And so goes on the beautiful commerce of nature. And all because of dissimilarity — because no one thing is sufficient in itself, but calls for the assistance of something else, and repays by a contribution in turn. — E.H. Chapin Sunbeams, May 2021

Aldeburgh Scallop
Scallop (2003) celebrates the composer Benjamin Britten and stands on the beach outside Aldeburgh, Suffolk, near Britten's homes and not far from Hambling's village.The four-metre-high (13 ft) cast stainless steel sculpture is in the form of the two fractured halves of a scallop shell, etched with the quotation from Britten's opera Peter Grimes: "I hear those voices that will not be drowned."
Maggi Hambling said this about her Scallop Shell Sculpture.
“I made Scallop as a conversation with the sea, because I tried to provide a place where someone feeling lonely, miserable, happy, sad, whatever it is, could come and contemplate the horizon from this sculpture.As it’s worked out, it’s covered in children. and you’ve got to be quite early in the morning to catch it on your own. But I really like the fact that it’s being used.If I was, sort of, on the point of death, and you asked me the question if there’s one work that I made which I would like to be remembered by, it would be Scallop. I think it’s possibly one of the more beautiful things I’ve managed to make.”
