Art in Salcey Forest

The exhibition of nine new sculptures took place from May 10th 2008-end June 2009, Salcey Forest, Northamptonshire. Four sculptures have been relocated, whilst Spirit weave II, Wood spirit, Geodesic body weave, Regeneration and Wood spirit II will remain permanently in the forest.

Open to the public every day. To view the five remaining sculptures, see the guide to the walk and the original map.

As part of In the loop, a project aiming to add to visitors' experience of viewing public art, Body weave III has been temporarily reinstalled (January 22nd-March19th 2010).

Open Studios in Salcey Forest

In 2009 I held my Open Studios in a marquee in Salcey Forest, Northamptonshire. Two of the sculptures relocated from the forest were on display for visitors to get up close and see the detail of their construction, together with background drawings and other prints and drawings.
