Mike Challis – Beech Cello was devised for the 2018 Sculpture Trail at Raveningham and was inspired by the wonderful beech tree at the back of the site looking out over the grazing meadow. I visited Bayfield last year and was really taken by one particular beech tree at the top of the site and thought it would be a wonderful place to install Beech Cello. It has an imposing position above a slope facing southwest so if the wind blows the cello will thrum, accompanied by the microtonal wind chimes. It will be interesting to see how it interacts with the tree itself in autumn – the leaves may rustle more, or they may be falling. If you are visiting I hope the wind blows for you.

Dom Cooper – Dom’s sculptures tend to be biomorphic forms of flowing, simple lines and are made from stone, wood or plaster. They are the shapes and forms found in nature. More examples of his work can be found at his website, domcooper.uk.

Breadbasket-the part of a country or region that produces large amounts of food, especially grain, for the rest of the country or region. It is characteristic of the golden colour of monocultures, where is no place for biodiversity. I plant a thistle in this field, A plant that is neither an alien nor an invasive plant and yet is considered a farmer’s eternal enemy. The thistle is interesting for its paradox. On the one hand, it is one of the oldest medicinal plants, and on the other hand, it is a ragged vagabond.

Casts are embedded into the objects evoking a sense of place, reference to geology, and the history of the landscapes that surround me.
