Future Project

Beacons

Since 2005/06 I have been developing a project which will reach across the county of Kent. The project will locate six or seven key sites across the county which will host the work. The first element of this project is underway (see my Heart of Oak project at Victory Wood). I am currently in negotiation with a number of other potential host sites.

As a key element of the project a landmark sculpture will be created at a significant location fairly central to the county. The sculpture will comprise constructed elements integrated with a number of trees - the living element of the work. This ever changing piece will be the main focal point for the project, and reference the other growing works around the county.

Beacons will never be a ‘finished piece of art’. It is about the process of change of which everything is a part. It is about connecting to the earth that sustains us. It is also a statement of hope for the future. It is encouraging us to consider what might be in the far future. It is encouraging us to consider what we are leaving for future generations.
