recent school project


'Ghost Orchard'
Arts Council funded public art land project near Newton Abbot. Creating a 'ghost' white apple tree on the site of an old orchard, growing from a new terraced earthworks. The piece draws the eye to the old orchard behind the school. The terraces are based on the turf rolls that cascade down the existing hill towards the school, and have the function of a massive seating area and play space in a playground desparately short of space. The terraces are planted with apple trees and the schools will use some sections for growing projects. The design stems from intuitive drawing projects and tree studies with the school children.
